The Invention of Capitalism

Classical Political Economy and the Secret History of Primitive Accumulation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"After reading Michael Perelman's excellent book we see our world in different colors. The origin of market capitalism is the product of strategies pursued to take away from people the conditions for developing alternative ways to live and produce. We also discover that classical political economy has been so instrumental in guiding these strategies. The book leaves us to wonder how the same mechanisms are reproduced today. This critical question pervades the book."--Massimo De Angelis, University of East London
