challenging informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

Quite dense (because the topic is, not the writing), but thorough and absolutely worth it. Doesn't just pick a starting point for capitalism to spur to life whole made, but rather explores the specific choices and conditons that shaped the world in order to make the arrival of capitalism *seem* like an inevitable thing when looking back. (To no one's surprise, imperialism, capitalism, racism and land theft all played pretty big roles.)
