Kapitalismus

Description

Capitalism has turned life around the world upside down – economically, socially, and ecologically. Our guest Sven Beckert has rewritten the history of this economic and social system. In his monumental work "Kapitalismus. Geschichte einer Weltrevolution" (Capitalism. A History of a World Revolution), the internationally renowned historian describes how colonialism, exploitation, and economic progress are intertwined and how capitalists have been trading worldwide for over a thousand years. Only by understanding the history of capitalism can we comprehend the chaos we are currently in and reshape our future. Guest Sven Beckert, Professor of History at Harvard University (USA). His book "Kapitalismus. Geschichte einer Weltrevolution" (2025) has been considered a standard work since its publication.
