The Fishers collected in depth, often buying dozens of works
by a

Capitalism since its birth, as Paul Sweezy wrote in «Capitalism and the Environment,» has been «a juggernaut driven
by the

by their mutual competition, and controlled in the short run
by the impersonal forces of the market and in the longer run, when the market fails,
by devastating crises.»
