Subtitle: the idea of capital in the West, 1500-1970
Description: "The idea of capital dominated the imagination of Western society throughout the era of its greatest economic development, from the Industrial Revolution up to the 1970s. Means and Ends provides a unique and comprehensive interpretation of this idea, examining it both within and outside a political economy framework, and tracing its rise and evolution from the sixteenth century through to the modern era. Based on a wealth of primary sources, this is a stimulating work of cultural and intellectual history which sheds new light on one of the guiding concepts of our age."--BOOK JACKET.
