Global Capitalism

Its Fall and Rise in the Twentieth Century, and Its Stumbles in the Twenty-First

"One of the most comprehensive histories of modern capitalism yet written." —Michael Hirsh, New York Times

An authoritative, insightful, and highly engaging history of the twentieth-century global economy, updated with a new chapter on the early decades of the new century. Global Capitalism guides the listener from the globalization of the early twentieth century and its swift collapse in the crises of 1914–45, to the return to global integration at the end of the century, and the subsequent retreat in the wake of the financial crisis of 2008.
