Civilization and Capitalism Vol II

In a powerful narrative Braudel sweeps us through 400 years of change -- from simple barter developing into sophisticated merchant economies. He uses everything he thinks necessary to bring this burgeoning capitalist world to light. Geography, sociology, religion and demographics all play a part. He shows how in the world of shops, markets and exhanges, the emergence of banks and in the extended networks of trade, capitalism was the great motivating force in the spread of European civilization.
