This Stanford Brief provides a concise overview of capitalism, the most powerful force in modern society.Review Quotes
"Permanent Revolutionis a superb integrative discussion of capitalism that unites history and economics with its political, cultural, and sociological foundations. When academics typically confine themselves to an in-depth 'silo' of knowledge cut off from other domains, this form of integration is rare and welcome."--Raymond C. Niles "EH.net"
"A wonderful outline of how capitalism works and a spirited defense of its classical principles. This is a text of great use both to those who celebrate the achievements of capitalism and those who want to critique its basic tenets."--O.A. Westad, Elihu Professor of History and Global Affairs "Yale University"
"This is a beautifully written small book about a very big subject: the origin and worldwide spread of dynamic, ever-changing free market economies. Wells celebrates the almost unbelievable material growth achieved by the role-governed competition of risk-taking, profit-seeking entrepreneurs. He evaluates the claims of anticapitalist critics, and explores the often conflicted interaction of economic systems and the broader social realm, including even religion and the arts."--Paul K. Conkin, Distinguished Professor of History "Vanderbilt University"
"Wyatt Wells' Permanent Revolution is a brisk, lively, and thoroughly original anatomy of, and meditation on, capitalism. At a time when capitalism's future is increasingly being called into question, Wells offers a powerful but balanced defense of this economic system. Broadly conceived and well executed, this book constitutes an important and necessary contribution both to the scholarly literature and to contemporary debates."--Peter A. Coclanis, Albert R. Newsome Distinguished Professor of History and Director of the Global Research Institute "University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"
