The Origin of Capitalism: A Longer View is a work of historical political economy by Ellen Meiksins Wood, a leading Marxist historian and theorist of political Marxism. First published in 1999 and later issued in expanded form, the book challenges the familiar idea that capitalism naturally emerged from trade, commerce, or the growth of cities. Instead, Wood argues that capitalism was a historically specific social system that developed through deep changes in property relations, especially in English agrarian society. Her purpose is not simply to retell economic history, but to explain why capitalism arose when and where it did, and why it should not be treated as an inevitable stage of human development. The book is compact but intellectually dense, combining historical survey, theoretical critique, and close engagement with Marx, Brenner, and other historians of transition. It is widely read in debates about the origins of modern capitalism, imperialism, and the modern state.
