Reviews

A brilliant writer with a polymathic range. With The Anxious Triumph, he has produced a magnum opus, an accessible and genuinely global history of the transformative but unstable capitalist phenomenon. ... This is a book for today and tomorrow.
*Financial Times*

It is hugely erudite: everyone can learn from it.
*New Statesman*

Sassoon offers us a sprawling map, studded with fascinating details. ... It is quirkily brilliant
*Guardian*

He is no apologist. His comprehensive account of the origins of modern capitalism make clear the human cost of a system of institutionalised greed
*Herald*
