具体描述
In this book, one of the world's most renowned historians provides a concise and comprehensive history of capitalism within a global perspective from its medieval origins to the 2008 financial crisis and beyond. From early commercial capitalism in the Arab world, China, and Europe, to nineteenth- and twentieth-century industrialization, to today's globalized financial capitalism, Jürgen Kocka offers an unmatched account of capitalism, one that weighs its great achievements against its great costs, crises, and failures. Based on intensive research, the book puts the rise of capitalist economies in social, political, and cultural context, and shows how their current problems and foreseeable future are connected to a long history.
Sweeping in scope, the book describes how capitalist expansion was connected to colonialism; how industrialism brought unprecedented innovation, growth, and prosperity but also increasing inequality; and how managerialism, financialization, and globalization later changed the face of capitalism. The book also addresses the idea of capitalism in the work of thinkers such as Marx, Weber, and Schumpeter, and chronicles how criticism of capitalism is as old as capitalism itself, fed by its persistent contradictions and recurrent emergencies.
Authoritative and accessible, Capitalism is an enlightening account of a force that has shaped the modern world like few others.

评分《资本论》在第一卷中就提到，资本（家）的目的有且仅有一个，“发家致富”，为了这，他们可以像鲨鱼闻到血腥一样疯狂且本能。那么究竟什么才是“资本主义”，打开《资本主义简史》，今天我们只论学术。 首先介绍这本书，《资本主义简史》是当代最为著名的社会史学家之一，国际...

作者本人是研究资本主义的权威学者，这本小书简介了资本主义的崛起、发展与全球扩张，但实在太短了啊……
评分觉得只看第四章有关近现代资本主义的段落就好了，前三章介绍的历史有些太遥远了。

评分磕磕巴巴看完了，对于非学术界人士，这本书看起来还是很费力的。最大障碍是德式英语，全书到处是很长的句子，复杂的词汇。在作者看来，“资本主义”这个概念是一个社会制度概念，不仅仅是经济概念，资本主义的特点是对于利润的追求，和资本本身的增殖特性。
