This monumental series delves into the profound economic and social transformations that shaped the world from the late Middle Ages to the close of the 18th century. It meticulously examines the material conditions, trade networks, and the burgeoning forces of global capitalism. Offering a sweeping perspective, it reveals the long-term currents that laid the groundwork for modern society. This is essential reading for anyone interested in history, economics, and the evolution of civilization.
This volume, in the author's words, is a sort of weighing up of the world, an evaluation of what was possible in the pre- industrial world of which the most important is the condition imposed by material life. On neither side of the Atlantic does there live a man or woman with so much knowledge of the past as Braudel, or with a greater sense of its aptness to the intellectual occasion at hand
Very clean, no markings, no mildew, from non-smoker's home.
