Critic reviews

"Written with tremendous clarity and verve by two scholars in complete command of their subject, this is one of the best works of analytical history to have been published in recent years." (Vivek Chibber, New York University)

"An invaluable contribution for scholars, students at all levels, and general readers alike, it truly is a tour de force." (Robert Brenner, University of California - Los Angeles)

Essential Information that is well presented.

I easily listened a few hours a day over one week to gain a good understanding.
