by Dan Cryan, Sharron Shatil, Contribution from Piero Icon Books 6/15/2005 SKU: 9781848310551 Despite the credit crunch, Capitalism now dominates the globe and influences every aspect of our world from laws, wars and government to interpersonal relationships. Tracing capitalism from its beginning to the present day, Dan Cryan and Sharron Shatil, alongside Piero's brilliant graphics, look at its practical and theoretical impact.
