A compelling explanation of how the law shapes the distribution of wealth Capital is the defining feature of modern economies, yet most people have no idea where it actually comes from. Drawing on archival evidence, political analysis, and reconstructed events, the narrative gives The Code of Capital a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, how the law creates wealth and inequality becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within business & economics and law.
