![]() ![]() It is not a new lesson an American who has read Karl Polanyi will recall it, even if he has never been exposed to the earlier French and German writings on the origins of capitalism that lie clearly in Braudel's intellectual background. This whole work, in my view, has one important lesson to teach. The whole immense panorama is summarized in his Hopkins lectures, Afterthoughts on Material Civilization and Capitalism (1977). The levels are called material life, the market economy, and capitalism each occupies one of the three volumes of Braudel's massive and much-acclaimed trilogy, Civilization and Capitalism. In Fernand Braudel's conception, economic history has existed at three levels, and "advanced" countries-the West, Japan, America-have encapsulated all three in their histories. Maps, illustrations, charts, tables, notes, and index. ![]() Civilization and Capitalism, 15th-18th Century. ![]()

Thanks to Akala’s extensive reading list there are other places for us all to seek to extend our knowledge. We can’t move forward unless we are given all the facts, and we can acknowledge them in order to work together for a better future for everyone.

Thinking with our hearts? Making every empathic leap we can? Are we witnesses to the world around us? Are we climbing on the shoulders of those who paved the way for us? Are we using every last bit of ourselves, living these lives of ours, spending it, spending it all, every single day?” We are part of a great tapestry of those who have preceded us. Though we are alone in our rooms, alone with our demons, our inner censors, our teachers remind us that we’re not alone in the endeavor.
