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.

Carharrt Quality
Color: Brown (Passcase)
I purchased this bifold wallet approximately about a month ago for my husband. It seems to have the trusted durable Carharrt quality, but it hasn’t been long enough to review its durability. It’s very nice looking. I gave it a four star due to he did find it stiff & tight fitting at first, it didn’t fit all that he had in his old wallet. I’m sure with time as with any leather it will soften.
