الرأسمالية: تاريخ عالمي

The book “Capitalism: A Global History” by historian Sven Beckert rereads the development of the capitalist system as a global phenomenon that took shape over the ages, emphasizing the role of “war capitalism” and colonialism in capital accumulation. The book links ancient trade and modern production, explaining how global interactions, with the support of states, shaped economic differences and a production structure extending from ancient slave plantations to contemporary factories. In his book “Capitalism: A Global History**,” historian Sven Beckert provides a comprehensive historical narrative that deconstructs traditional myths, portraying capitalism as a system that developed through violence, political alliances, and imperial expansion rather than as a natural product of the free market. An encyclopedic study, the work argues that capitalism was born global from its earliest stages, driven by an alliance of state, merchants and the exploitation of slavery, which structurally reshaped the world.
