The first volume of The Cambridge History of Capitalism provides a
comprehensive account of the evolution of capitalism from its
earliest beginnings. Starting with its distant origins in ancient
Babylon, successive chapters trace progression up to the 'Promised
Land' of capitalism in America. Adopting a wide geographical
coverage and comparative perspective, the international team of
authors discuss the contributions of Greek, Roman, and Asian
civilizations to the development of capitalism, as well as the
Chinese, Indian and Arab empires. They determine what features of
modern capitalism were present at each time and place, and why the
various precursors of capitalism did not survive. Looking at the
eventual success of medieval Europe and the examples of city-states
in northern Italy and the Low Countries, the authors address how
British mercantilism led to European imitations and American
successes, and ultimately, how capitalism became global.
