I listened to a cushvlog recently where Matt was talking about capitalism emerging pretty concretely from England out of the puritanical revolution (?) and then spreading through the world via colonialism. Anyone have any book recs talking about this subject? Would love if it took it even further into areas of how capitalism started shaping social relations/institutions once becoming a real global force
