Now in its Eighth Edition, this landmark academic text details the forces that shaped American capitalism — from agricultural foundations and westward expansion to the rise of industrial giants, labour movements, and the complex machinery of modern finance. Faulkner argues with precision and clarity, grounding each chapter in rigorous historical evidence that makes the economic story of America both accessible and intellectually commanding.\n\nBeyond its factual thoroughness, the work illustrates how economic forces are inseparable from social, political, and cultural change — revealing how tariff policy, transportation revolutions, and shifting labour markets reshaped everyday American life across centuries. Faulkner's authoritative yet readable prose has made this text a standard in university classrooms for decades, and its international student reprint edition speaks to its enduring global relevance. For anyone seeking to understand the economic DNA of the most powerful nation in modern history, this volume remains an indispensable guide — and a compelling reminder that the story of money is, ultimately, the story of people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203184566491,"sku":"2026200015027-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ded3f6ef-7519-47cb-8a6c-8ffda3a7e449.png?v=1788145125","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015027-secondhand-american-economic-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
