Description
The rise of cotton: A global history reveals the darker side of industrialisation. Sven Beckert's groundbreaking work explores the role of cotton in the development of modern capitalism, from its dominance as the world's leading industry until 1900 to its eventual decline. Through meticulous research in archives across the globe, Beckert sheds light on the human cost of this process, exposing the brutal exploitation of slaves on plantations and workers in factories. This book is a compelling narrative that challenges prevailing views of industrialisation as a unproblematic milestone in human progress. With clear and persuasive arguments, Beckert presents a nuanced account of the complex relationships between economy, politics, and society.
