Eschewing the standard accounts of \"Great Men,\" of dates and kings, Harman offers a groundbreaking counter-history, a breathtaking sweep across the centuries in the tradition of \"history from below.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a fiery narrative, he shows how ordinary men and women were involved in creating and changing society and how conflict between classes was often at the core of these developments. While many scholars see the victory of capitalism as now safely secured, Harman explains the rise and fall of societies and civilizations throughout the ages and demonstrates that history moves ever onward in every age. This magisterial study is essential reading for anyone interested in how society has changed and developed and the possibilities for further radical progress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I have had many people ask me if there is a book which does for world history what my book \u003ci\u003eA People's History of the United States\u003c\/i\u003e does for this country.
