Publisher's Synopsis
Capitalism and French Glassmaking, 1640-1789 is a historical book written by Warren C. Scoville. The book explores the development of capitalism in France during the 17th and 18th centuries through the lens of the glassmaking industry.

Scoville then goes on to explore the ways in which the glassmaking industry was transformed by the growth of capitalism, including the rise of large-scale production and the emergence of new technologies.Throughout the book, Scoville also examines the social and economic factors that contributed to the growth of capitalism in France, including the rise of consumer culture and the increasing importance of trade and commerce. He also explores the ways in which the glassmaking industry was affected by political and cultural changes in France, such as the French Revolution and the Enlightenment.Overall, Capitalism and French Glassmaking, 1640-1789 provides a comprehensive and detailed account of the development of capitalism in France during the 17th and 18th centuries, as seen through the lens of the glassmaking industry.
