Cultural Capitals
Social theories of modernity focus on the 19th century as the period when Western Europe was transformed by urbanization. This book shows that speculation and capital, the commodity, the crowd, traffic, and the street, often thought to be specific to 19th century urban culture, were in fact already at work in early modern London and Paris.
