Who this is
“A broke, stateless scholar in a London reading room wrote an analysis of capitalism so powerful that a century later a third of humanity was governed in his name — and he would have recognized almost none of it.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“History is driven not by ideas but by how people produce their material life — and the conflicts built into each way of producing it, above all the conflict between classes.”
