"No one can read this book and ever again say that history is dull." Harold Laski

Originally published in the 1930s, this is 'an attempt to explain history by economic theory, and economic theory by history'. It charts the path from feudalism to capitalism, and then looks beyond capitalism to a perceived socialist future. Although he was a victim of the times in being taken in by Stalin's regime (an attitude which is reflected in some of what is said towards the end of the work), this book is a spendid explanation of how capitalism came about.
