Re: [L-I] Critical History of the U.S.
I don't know if it is the best, but Tom Kemp's _The Climax of US Capitalism: The US Economy in the 20th century_ is a very good overview of US capitalism (Longman, 1990) My favorite is, of course, (as always) Kees Van Der Pijl's _The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class_ (Verso, 1984) It describes the process of class formation on an Atlantic Scale. The best dissertation ever written in international political economy (recently), and in other fields alike. bye Mine Louis Proyect wrote: There is one book that stands head and shoulders over all others: Howard Zinn "People's History of the United States" At 02:39 PM 1/28/01 -0600, you wrote: Hello everybody - That would be extremely appreciated if somebody on this list could recommend the best critical books on the U.S. history (in English).
