The Age of Capital is the second part of Eric J. Hobsbawm's grand panorama, covering the period from 1848 to 1875. In this book, Hobsbawm analyzes the rise of industrial capitalism and bourgeois culture, a period of social transformations, the formation of great fortunes, and mass migrations. Europe, immersed in booms and crises, extends its economic and cultural influence globally. The author examines political events, economic evolution, and cultural events, offering an original and vigorous synthesis.
Eric John Ernest Hobsbawm was a British historian of the rise of industrial capitalism, socialism and nationalism. His best-known works include his tetralogy about what he called the "long 19th century" and the "short 20th century", and an edited volume that introduced the influential idea of "invented traditions". He was a life-long Marxist, and his socio-political convictions influenced the character of his work.
