The Pristine Culture of Capitalism by Ellen Meiksins Wood
Why Britain was capitalist but not bourgeois

cloudy mixture of ideas being turned into a clear solution. -- Adrienne Rich
A splendid book. -- Eric Hobsbawm
Meiksins Wood is a rare breed--an academic with the soul of a storyteller. Highly
recommended. * Morning Star *
Immensely impressive, bold and erudite ... This book ought to be compulsory reading for us
all. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
A breath of fresh air ... This book made me think about, and rethink, seventeenth-century English history more than any I have read in decades ... a pleasure to read. -- Christopher Hill
