A landmark work of historical scholarship, The Age of Capital: 1848-1875 chronicles the pivotal decades in which industrial capitalism reshaped the world's economies, societies, and political landscapes. Hobsbawm argues with authoritative clarity that the period between the revolutionary uprisings of 1848 and the economic crisis of 1875 represents the triumphant global ascendancy of the bourgeoisie and the capitalist system. Drawing on a vast sweep of evidence across Europe, the Americas, and beyond, the work details how the expansion of railways, finance, and free trade transformed not only material life but also culture, class structures, and empire. Written with the analytical rigour and sweeping vision that defines Hobsbawm's celebrated Age of... tetralogy, this volume presents an indispensable account of how the modern world was forged in the furnace of capital accumulation and liberal ideology.
