The Invention of Capitalism

Classical Political Economy and the Secret History of Primitive Accumulation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examines diaries, letters, and the practical writings of the classical economists to show how Adam Smith and the other classical economists appear to have deliberately obscured the nature of the control of labour and how policies attacking the economic independence of the rural peasantry were essentially conceived to foster primitive accumulation.
