Capitalism in Early America | US History to 1865 | Study Hall

In the modern United States, capitalism is everywhere you look. But it wasn't always that way. In the span of a few hundred years, a shift took place, moving the world away from local trade to a new system that is not only impersonal, but that reorganized our culture into a new kind of society—a market society. In this episode, Dr. Danielle Bainbridge discusses capitalism and how it has shaped the world we live in today.
