A provocative account of what it is that makes capitalism unique. Steven G. Marks argues that capitalism's distinctiveness as an economic system lies in business's quest for information and usable knowledge, tracing how this developed from the Renaissance onwards, shaping economic development and the divergence of the East and West.
