Description

"Capitalism" explores the origins of this economic system, its relationship to the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, and its further development in the United States. We meet Adam Smith, the Scottish philosopher. The nature of capitalist enterprise today is discussed. The standard of living and the process of innovation in a capitalist economy are also examined.
