WINNER OF THE BANCROFT PRIZE
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST Winner of the Alfred and Fay Chandler Book Award The empire of cotton was, from the beginning, a fulcrum of constant global struggle between slaves and planters, merchants and statesmen, workers and factory owners. Sven Beckert makes clear how these forces ushered in the world of modern capitalism, including the vast wealth and disturbing inequalities that are with us today.In a remarkably brief period, European entrepreneurs and powerful politicians recast the world's most significant manufacturing industry, combining imperial expansion and slave labor with new machines and wage workers to make and remake global capitalism. The result is a book as unsettling as it is enlightening: a book that brilliantly weaves together the story of cotton with how the present global world came to exist.

A great everyday companion.
Overall this is a great watch for the price. Swiss Made and the right size for a larger dial vs. others in the class. The dial color is more gray than black which was a plus for me as I was looking for a gray dial. I switched out the band for a black field band bought on Hamilton’s website. I am very happy with the results!

The Perfect Everyday Watch
This hands down is the best everyday watch. I have a large wrist so the 42mm works perfectly for me. The all brushed titanium looks great. The subdued look and clear dial just only make it better. I didnt want to believe the Hamilton hype but I have to say that Hamilton makes a great solid watch.
If you are looking for the everyday watch that just feels right, is solid, and works, look no further. I am sure the standard version is just as good also.
ALSO, the dial is not black black. It is slightly a grayish tone. At first I hated this detail but after looking at it, it just looks so good.
