Product Details

Praise

“A vivid, fact-filled expose of the cyclical monetary forces that surge through human society.”
Observer Review

The Long Twentieth Century has the grandeur of a sprawling epic and the schematic grace of a Richard Neutra blueprint … It is the single most useful text on offer for anyone who wants to narrate the story of world capitalism—from its nascent form on the rim of the Mediterranean to the current reach of the United States’ empire, and beyond.”
Los Angeles Review of Books

“Made no concrete prediction, but nevertheless interpreted the rising power of Wall Street since the 1970s as a symptom of imminent US decline, followed perhaps by an era of Chinese global leadership.”
—William Davies, New Statesman

“This book is one of the most comprehensive presentations concerning the history of capitalism from early modern times up to the present.”
—Joseph Vogl, Shepherd.com
