Fascinating and original scientific and social investigation of the origins of capitalism in Britain, using a new evolutionary sociology theory and political systems comparison (including France and Holland), with scholarly reviews of alternative theories.

Alongside economic history this complex but sparkling work chronicles changes to the environment, from climate and sea-level changes to forest cover.
