Books by Joyce Oldham Appleby, PhD

7. Joyce Appleby, The Relentless Revolution: A History of Capitalism .  My mouth watered at the thought of a popular (Norton) Joyce Appleby book on the origins of capitalism.  It is intelligent throughout but it wasn't teaching me anything so I put it down.  Skimming did not alter this impression.  It is more a disappointment than a bad book but it is a disappointment nonetheless.  All of a sudden she's afraid to take chances.
