Covering times, places and topics that have often been overlooked in the existing literature, this collection charts the most comprehensive chronology of capitalism to date.

This ambitious collection follows the evolution of capitalism from its origins in 13th century European towns to its 16th century expansion into Asia, Africa and South America and on to the global capitalism of modern day.

Written by distinguished historians and social scientists, the chapters examine capitalism and its critics and

the level of variation and convergence in its operation across locations. The authors illuminate the aspects of capitalism that have encouraged, but also limited, social responsibility and environmental sustainability.
