Exploring the global history of labor from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, the book challenges conventional views on free versus unfree labor, highlighting similarities in wage conditions across different regions. It reveals how unfree labor was integral to market development and capitalism, contributing to economic growth in Eurasia. Stanziani argues that this labor system persisted beyond major historical upheavals, with its decline occurring between 1870 and 1914, coinciding with the second industrial revolution and the emergence of the welfare state.
