520    "With its deep roots and global scope, the capitalist 
       system provides the framework for our lives--a framework 
       of constant change, sometimes measured and predictable, 
       sometimes drastic and out of control. Yet what is now 
       ubiquitous was not always so. Capitalism took shape 
       centuries ago, starting with a handful of isolated changes
       in farming, trade, and manufacturing, clustered in early-
       modern England. Astute observers began to notice these 
       changes and consider their effects. Those in power began 
       to harness these new practices to the state, enhancing 
       both. A system generating wealth, power, and new ideas 
       arose to reshape societies in a constant surge of change. 
       Approaching capitalism as a culture, as important for its 
       ideas and values as for its inventions and systems, award-
       winning historian Joyce Appleby gives us a fascinating 
       introduction to this most potent creation of mankind from 
       its origins to the present"--From publisher description.
