Customer Reviews

Excellent work

"This clear accessible book does just what its title promises... Writing in a pleasant and nonconfrontational style, Beaud does so using a chronological order without reverting to jargon, and he describes the intellectual as well as the material history of capitalist development ... The book covers the most important elements of the subject and does a good job of pointing readers to additional sources... This reviewer knows of no comparable current work." -- M. PERELMAN, CHOICE, American Library Association
