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.
Jürgen Kocka is a permanent fellow at Humboldt University of Berlin and former president of the WZB Berlin Social Science Center. In 2011, he received the Holberg Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in the scholarly world.
文 / 静待花开 相信很多小伙伴,都是跟我一样,依稀记得在中学历史中,学过一个词叫“资本主义”,大意就是残酷的,剥削的,不尽人道的,要与其斗争到底的。转头进入一个更加高级的概念叫做“共产主义”,而我们就正在比“资本主义”更高级的“社会主义”康庄大道上奋勇前行。 ...

评分我们多数人接触“资本主义”概念是在学生时代的政治课本,书上是这样定义“资本主义”的:资本主义,也被称为自由市场经济或自由企业经济,其特色是个人或是企业拥有资本财产,且投资活动是由个人决策左右,而非由国家所控制,一般并没有准确之定义,不同的经济学家也...

评分什么是“资本主义”?马克思说:“资本来到世间,从头到脚,每个毛孔都滴着肮脏的东西。”有段时间,“资本主义”是一个贬义词。其实,马克思说这句话有他特定的历史背景。 重新认识“资本主义”,不妨阅读德国“新社会史学”代表人物、柏林洪堡大学终身教授于尔根·科卡的《资...
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。
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……
