How did the dynamic economic system we know as capitalism develop among the peasants and lords of feudal Europe?
In The Origin of Capitalism, a now-classic work of history, Ellen Meiksins Wood offers a clear and accessible introduction to the theories and debates concerning the birth of capitalism, imperialism, and the modern nation state. Capitalism is not a natural and inevitable consequence of human nature, nor simply an extension of age-old practices of trade and commerce. Rather, it is a late and localized product of very specific historical conditions, which required great transformations in social relations and in the relationship between humans and nature.

Excellent analysis, very irritating narrator

lastly, there is no story. there is only the author's dry, algebraic sentences used to disprove other theories with out petty bad when the narrator sounds as bored as ido. It's too bad because it is a topic I realy want to know about, but I'm not looking to get my PhD in it.
incredibly dence.
