Book excerpt: $$a "This book is an account of that middle class [in Europe] during that one hundred years [from 1840 to 1940], and how it made use of its technological and financial skills to dethrone the old order and conquer the world. For wherever in the world these skills of the bourgeoisie penetrated, the values followed, influencing the development of other nations and cultures. The Triumph of the Middle Classes describes Europe as a whole, then considers differences among various European powers, and examines all of the areas of the world that were touched. It is a political and economic history but it also concerns itself with demography, with social changes, with what people were writing and painting, and thinking."-- Book jacket.
