Features: The book describes precisely this accumulation of quantity. The intersection of the 15th and 16th centuries marks the beginning of a new era. From then on, the dual economic structure of the Middle Ages began to transform rapidly, and the pastoral idyll of the natural economy was gradually swallowed by the tide of the market economy. The Western major countries that first bid farewell to the Middle Ages, driven by the extreme greed and desire of early capitalism, used their unique battleships and cannons to dominate all, initiating a prehistoric colonial conquest, plunder, and slaughter. These actions were no longer confined to regional areas but were carried out on a global scale. As a result, Africa, America, Asia, and Australia were successively incorporated into the capitalist colonial system. It was from this time that capitalism began to write its rise with "blood and fire," starting to dominate the world. In this sense, the book also describes the history of capitalism.
