Asked this in the c/history comm a few days back, figured I'd ask here also
Looking for some books or other resources that serve as good overviews of the long nineteenth century, especially as it pertains to Western Europe. I of course know of the Hobsbawm series which people have recommended. But does anyone know of any other good histories of this period that are worth checking out? Looking to give myself some historical context for Marx.
Chapters 2 and 3 of The Long Twentieth Century by Giovanni Arrighi might scratch that Itch https://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=B92732955A0BBF87690CAEC6B8F2EDD3
definitely has been on my list to check out at some point
