Abstract

[Periodizing capitalism and theorizing its stages of development is a research field that originates with the writings of Karl Marx. However it is also taken up in the post-WWII era by non-Marxian economists and sociologists. Two major epistemological strategies are deployed in it: the attempt to identify an essence or constant of capitalism from which transmutations of capitalism and its stages are derived; and the stylizing of empirical history to set out salient features of a period of capitalist development. This chapter summarizes the major approaches to periodizing capitalism and the ordering of the material in the book.]
