Â Â Although it pulses with great eventsâ€”failed revolutions, catastrophic wars, and a global depressionâ€”The Age of CapitalÂ is most outstanding for its analyis of the trends that created the new order. Â With the sweep and sophistication that have made him one of our greatest historians, Hobsbawm indentifies this epoch's winners and losers, its institutions, ideologies, science, and religion.
