Economists, historians and social scientists have offered a variety
of conflicting answers to the issue of the beginnings of capitalism
and these deviating answers imply different conceptualizations of
what capitalism actually is. This book provides a simultaneous
inquiry into the origins of capitalism as well as provides a
theoretical treatise on capitalism. The Origins of Capitalism as a
Social System explores the line between what is and is not
capitalism, (re)producing a theory of capitalism as a system of
class domination and exploitation. Part I of the book focuses on
the monetary theory of value and capital developed by Karl Marx,
while at the same time critically reviews an array of economic and
historical literature, both Marxist and non-Marxist. Following
this, Part II expounds the first emergence of capitalism in Venice.
It highlights the historical contingencies that made capitalism in
the Venetian society possible, as well as the structural elements
of the capitalist system and their interconnectedness. Finally,
Part III discusses the capitalist character of the Venetian social
formation from the end of the fourteenth century until the fall of
the republic to Napoleon in 1797. As part of this, the author
investigates the significance of forms of governmentality beyond
national cohesion and territorialization. Of great interest to
economists, historians and both undergraduate and postgraduate
students, this book gives special emphasis to a critical evaluation
of the tensions and controversies between historians, economists
and other social scientists with regard to the character and role
that money and trade played in societies and economies.
