My title may seem misleading because the author didn't address this very issue. In my humble opinion, this seldom matters, because a tireless pursuit of a precise definition of everything seems to be lost causes. Hence a Witgensteinian approach might serve a better purpose. That is, list the shared charasteristics deduced from all so-called capitalists countries(I know it when I see it!).
Basically, what interests me most about this book is its interpretation of why Britain, or more precisely, Why Europe is first transformed into capitalism systems? And the author proposes several dull textbook explanations which sounds boring except the "Black Death". Black Death almost took one third of then-Europe's population but interestingly, the population shortage led to a human-capital-oriented, that said, its social mobility is ramped up!
All in all, whether you are a Eco101 student or a layman, this book deserves a better read!

导读中有赤裸裸的社会主义必须替代资本主义的结论,资本主义从萌芽、私人、一般垄断到国家垄断再到国际垄断,只是表明资本主义为了改善其内部矛盾和非和谐的情况而做出转型的努力,但当它能容纳的全部生产力发挥,更高的生产关系蕴育成熟后,它必然会被替代。1、什么是资本主义?利用价格差导的跨国贸易摄取利润,英国东印...
