An expanded edition of the classic study on the history of capitalisma must read for students of political theory and anyone interested in economic thought (Choice)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 nowclassic work of history, Ellen Meiksins Wood offers readers 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 ageold 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.This new edition is substantially revised and expanded, with extensive new material on imperialism, antiEurocentric history, capitalism and the nationstate, and the differences between capitalism and noncapitalist commerce. The author traces links between the origin of capitalism and contemporary conditions such as globalization, ecological degradation, and the current agricultural crisis.
