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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis new edition is substantially revised and expanded, with extensive new material on imperialism, anti-Eurocentric history, capitalism and the nation-state, and the differences between capitalism and non-capitalist commerce. The author traces links between the origin of capitalism and contemporary conditions such as ‘globalization’, ecological degradation, and the current agricultural crisis.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47679953338530,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/9781786630681.jpg?v=1789739246","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/the-origin-of-capitalism-a-longer-view-by-ellen-meiksins-wood","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
