Book excerpt: The authors of Reworking Modernity see capitalism in terms of distinctive forms of accumulation and periodic crises or moments of creative destruction.

Allan Pred and Michael Watts depict people simultaneously struggling over the material and cultural conditions of their existence during periods of momentous change.
