Capitalists in Spite of Themselves

Více o knize

The book explores the uneven development of capitalism in early modern Europe, challenging the notion of a single cause or a predetermined evolution of economic systems. Richard Lachmann emphasizes the importance of historical contingencies and specific regional factors that influenced the emergence of capitalism in certain areas while leaving others behind. Through this nuanced analysis, he provides a fresh perspective on the complexities of economic development and the diverse trajectories of European regions.
