Overview

This is a collection of essays by British and American historians and political theorists. Moving beyond a conventional action/reaction view of capitalism and its critics, the volume explores how critical traditions and beliefs have helped to shape capitalism.; Chapters follow diverse critiques in Britain and America and explore their Atlantic and imperial exchanges. The volume includes chapters on: questions of law and property in the Victorian empire; traditions of land reform in 19th century America and Britain; the influence of American romanticism on British socialism; the role of Britain in American progressivism; American and British consumer protection; the evolution of trusteeship and ideas of cosmopolitan democracy; the third way ; and narratives of globalization.; The editors' introduction offers a critical, historiographical survey and, by stepping beyond the dogmatic opposition between postmodernists and empiricists, provides a new research agenda for an integrated study of capitalism and its critics.
