This comprehensive work views U.S. history through the analytical framework of the capitalist process. The highlights of the book are:

it weaves together economic history with the history of economic ideas to give a new perspective on the contemporary connections between the economic and social processes;

provides an analytical and historical explanation of capitalism as a socioeconomic system;

discusses the past and present functioning of the business system, as a system of power, with emphasis on the 1970s, 1980s and the stagnation of the 1990s;

analyses the relationship between structures of income, wealth and power and class, color and gender;

and critically looks at the development and nature of the capitalist state.
