With its deep roots and global scope, the capitalist system seems
universal and timeless. The framework for our lives, it is a source
of constant change, sometimes measured and predictable, sometimes
drastic, out of control. Yet what is now ubiquitous was not always
so. Capitalism was an unlikely development when it emerged from
isolated changes in farming, trade, and manufacturing in
early-modern England. Astute observers began to notice these
changes and register their effects. Those in power began to harness
these new practices to the state, enhancing both. A system
generating wealth, power, and new ideas arose to reshape societies
in a constant surge of change. Approaching capitalism as a culture,
as a historical development that was by no means natural or
inevitable, Joyce Appleby gives us a fascinating introduction to
this most potent creation of mankind from its origins to its
present global reach.
