This complete three-volume set of 'Civilization and Capitalism, 15th-18th Century' by renowned historian Fernand Braudel is a cornerstone of modern historical scholarship. The set includes Volume I: 'The Structures of Everyday Life,' Volume II: 'The Wheels of Commerce,' and Volume III: 'The Perspective of the World.' Translated from the French by Siân Reynolds, these works offer a monumental survey of global economic history, social structures, and the development of the modern world. Each volume is published by Harper & Row under the Perennial Library imprint.

Braudel's masterpiece is celebrated for its 'Longue Durée' approach, examining the vast movements of history through demography, urbanisation, transport, technology, and trade. The books are richly illustrated with maps, charts, and historical engravings that bring the 15th through 18th centuries to life. This set is an essential acquisition for scholars of economic history, social science, and anyone interested in the foundational structures of human civilization.
