WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZE
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST Winner of the Alfred and Fay Chandler Book Award The empire of cotton was, from the beginning, a fulcrum of constant global struggle between slaves and planters, merchants and statesmen, workers and factory owners. Sven Beckert makes clear how these forces ushered in the world of modern capitalism, including the vast wealth and disturbing inequalities that are with us today.In a remarkably brief period, European entrepreneurs and powerful politicians recast the world's most significant manufacturing industry, combining imperial expansion and slave labor with new machines and wage workers to make and remake global capitalism. The result is a book as unsettling as it is enlightening: a book that brilliantly weaves together the story of cotton with how the present global world came to exist.

Best Hand Cream
Size: 5.1 Ounce (Pack of 2)
I love this hand lotion . I have used it before, but the store I bought it from quite carrying it. It’s wonderful, in my work I wash my hands very frequently & they tend to crack. But with using this cream, they’re soft and healed. I won’t use any other kind.

It Works!!
Size: 5.1 Ounce (Pack of 2)
EXCELLENT!! I have severely dry hands in the winter, cracks in skin. Very difficult to find a product that works for me. This is the product! Thank you. Please continue to carry it. No scent, which I like. Just the right amount of thickness. My hands feel so much better.

Younger looking.
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
The lotion makes the skin look and feel soft and smooth when you apply it after getting out of the shower. Looks young and healthy. We both use this product. For the value spent we will continue to buy it. The scent is lite and wonderful.
