520    The author provides a concise and comprehensive history of
       capitalism within a global perspective from its medieval 
       origins to the 2008 financial crisis and beyond. The 
       author offers an account of capitalism that weighs its 
       great achievements against its great costs, crises, and 
       failures. 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. 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.--
