«НЕВИДИМЫЙ ДВИГАТЕЛЬ»: Как капитализм построил, разрушил и преобразовал мир

The Invisible Engine Why does modern life feel so productive, so connected, and so unstable at the same time? In The Invisible Engine, Sienna Rose traces the hidden history of capitalism from the merchant ports of the Indian Ocean to colonial conquest, industrial factories, financial upheaval, platform monopolies, invisible labor, and the climate crisis. This is not a textbook and it is not a manifesto. It is a clear, sweeping narrative of how capitalism built, broke, and reshaped the modern world, and why its current form is under growing strain.Moving across centuries and continents, Rose shows how trade, empire, slavery, wage labor, finance, and technology fused into the system that now shapes everyday life, from the goods we buy to the jobs we do to the crises we inherit. Inside, you will discover: · Why capitalism did not begin as a simple Europe-first story· How conquest, extraction, and industry helped create both global wealth and global inequality· Why growth and exploitation have so often advanced together· What platform power, hidden workers, and climate pressure reveal about capitalism today· What questions matter most as the system enters a new period of strainFor readers of serious history, economics, politics, and big-idea nonfiction, The Invisible Engine offers an accessible global account of the system behind modern life, and a sharper way to understand the world it made.
