Book Synopsis Reworking Modernity by : Allan Pred
Book excerpt: The authors of Reworking Modernity see capitalism in terms of distinctive forms of accumulation and periodic crises or moments of creative destruction. The history of capitalism is expressed both through historically and geographically specific configurations of capital, labor, and the state and through cultural and symbolic systems. Allan Pred and Michael Watts depict people simultaneously struggling over the material and cultural conditions of their existence during periods of momentous change.
