The Age of Capital: 1848-1875
About This Novel
The age of capital is a progressive drama starring the bourgeoisie. New technologies such as trains and steamships have brought the scene from Europe to the world. The protagonists in simple clothes confidently and calmly performed this era of victory that ignored the ups and downs but witnessed the grandeur. After a short and exciting prelude to revolution, the peaceful and steady triumph of capitalism echoed around the world. In an era of great economic prosperity, the winners who controlled capital and technology dominated the losers who clung to tradition. A large number of farmers moved away from the land that had been reduced to commodities and moved to cities and industries, slowly condensing their worker consciousness in the boundless environment; the respected bourgeoisie, in its solid family fortress, created an immortal legend of liberalism. The theory of evolution leads scientific advancement, while realism suppresses artistic creativity... In 1875, an unprecedentedly long Great Depression quietly slipped into the age of empire.
