In this book; Eric Hobsbawm chronicles the events and trends that led to the triumph of private enterprise and its exponents in the years between 1848 and 1875. Along with Hobsbawm's other volumes; this book constitutes and intellectual key to the origins of the world in which we now live. Although it pulses with great events—failed revolutions; catastrophic wars; and a global depression—The Age of Capital is most outstanding for its analyis of the trends that created the new order. With the sweep and sophistication that have made him one of our greatest historians; Hobsbawm indentifies this epoch's winners and losers; its institutions; ideologies; science; and religion.

My first Fem Book that I read-By Donna MickoI am reading another one-but have gotten more into this one... it is connecting the dots to things I have known but not full scale. It was a relief to see things in words- written- the guts to write what I have thought- not in anger but in truth and enlightenment. Women need to know the truth of what we have gone through so we can continue to teach the youth so they do not take it for granted our rights and freedoms.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
