The Origin of Capitalism: A Longer View by Ellen Meiksins Wood

challenging informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

really fantastic look at the true origin of capitalism and the real definition of capitalism, something often presupposed or brushed-over by economists, including Marxist economists. I feel the most equipped I've ever felt to describe and understand capitalism as it exists today. It was a hard read for a non-academic such as myself, with lots of big words and references to other works, but it was worth every page. Strongly recommend this book to everyone, especially anti-capitalists and people feeling left behind or despondent in the world of Capitalism.
