This book really takes Capitalism from its inception to the end of WW II. There is a brief postscript taking us to the early 1960's.
Dobb leads us through Capitalism in a non sensationalist way but, shows that some of the understood 'truths' of the story, as we are told it, needs expansion and clarification.

Dobb is an excellent communicator: his books make tricky issues understandable to the average person (and they don't come much more average than me!).
