Review:

[...] the effort of reading through this tome has been worthwhile. An attempt to apply the Brenner thesis to the development of capitalist industry the work is in fact an impressively erudite and up-to-date Marxist review of English economic and political history from the 14th to the 19th century. [...] the author's analysis is based on an impressive and up-to-date bibliography. Henry Heller, The University of Manitoba, in: The Free Library
