Capitalism and the Historians: A Contribution to the Discussion on the Industrial Revolution in England*
W. Woodruff
The Journal of Economic History, 1956, vol. 16, issue 1, 1-17
Abstract:
The topic of “Capitalism and the Historians” is a subject far exceeding the limitations normally imposed by historical discipline. In fact, in a still wider context, this subject has much to do with the great ideological division of the modern world into the two vast camps of capitalist and communist countries, a most somber spectacle facing us today. The aim here is not to trace the steps by which we have reached the tragic facts of contemporary affairs, but rather to show how our beliefs concerning these matters (such as the view taken of capitalism) are influenced largely by our impression of the past.
