圖書介紹
WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZE
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST
Winner of the Alfred and Fay Chandler Book Award
The empire of cotton was, from the beginning, a fulcrum of constant global struggle between slaves and planters, merchants and statesmen, workers and factory owners. Sven Beckert makes clear how these forces ushered in the world of modern capitalism, including the vast wealth and disturbing inequalities that are with us today.
??????? In a remarkably brief period, European entrepreneurs and powerful politicians recast the world’s most significant manufacturing industry, combining imperial expansion and slave labor with new machines and wage workers to make and remake global capitalism. The result is a book as unsettling as it is enlightening: a book that brilliantly weaves together the story of cotton with how the present global world came to exist.

這是一部史詩般的故事，講述了棉花帝國的興衰，它在世界經(jīng)濟中的中心地位，以及它對全球資本主義的創(chuàng)造和重塑。
棉花無處不在，幾乎看不見，但了解它的歷史是理解現(xiàn)代資本主義起源的關鍵。Sven Beckert這本內(nèi)容豐富、引人入勝的書講述了歐洲企業(yè)家和強大的政治家如何在極短的時間內(nèi)重塑了世界上最重要的制造業(yè)，將帝國擴張、奴隸勞動與新機器和雇傭工人結合起來，改變了世界。早在18世紀80年代機器生產(chǎn)出現(xiàn)之前，這些人就掌握了亞洲古老的貿(mào)易和技能，并將它們與美洲的土地征用和非洲工人的奴役結合起來，對存在了數(shù)千年的不同棉花領域進行了至關重要的重塑，工業(yè)資本主義如何催生...
