内容简介
从公元前3000年到21世纪，从一块泥板上的债务记录到制霸全球的金融巨兽，资本影响和左右着我们生活的方方面面。
在本书中，作者站在“资本边际收益递减”和“耗散结构”两大理论基础上，阐述了资本是如何积累、如何形成的，又投向了什么地方、塑造过哪些文明和霸权：古希腊时期的虚拟金融概念、十字军东征催生了近代银行系统、殖民贸易让欧洲商队遍布全球、战争资本主义护卫英国重组全球产业分工、金融资本如何打造一个个巨型企业、外币结算体系促成全球资本合作、以硅谷为代表的创新资本创造了一个又一个科技奇迹……
但是，资本无限增殖的内在需求及其周期规律又导致人类不断陷入危机：古罗马资本文明的陨落、南宋复杂社会的崩溃、老牌资本主义国家间的霸权更迭、全球金融危机频发、穷国和富国间壁垒高筑……在日益成熟的全球化体系中，资本既是建设者，又是毁灭者。
那么，如何建立起开放的耗散结构体系，破除“资本边际收益递减”的魔咒？本书将帮你揭开人类文明史的发展逻辑。

Content introduction
From 3000 BC to the 21st century, capital has influenced and shaped every aspect of our lives, from the debt recorded on a clay tablet to the financial behemoths that dominate the globe.
In this book, the author stands on the basis of the two theories of "diminishing marginal returns of capital" and "dissipative structure", explaining how capital accumulates, how it is formed, where it is invested, and what civilizations and hegemons it has shaped: The concept of virtual finance in the ancient Greek period, the Crusades gave birth to the modern banking system, colonial trade allowed European caravans to spread all over the world, war capitalism protected the United Kingdom to reorganize the global industrial division of labor, how financial capital built a giant enterprise, foreign currency settlement system promoted global capital cooperation, innovative capital represented by Silicon Valley created one technological miracle after another...
However, the inherent demand for unlimited capital proliferation and its cyclical law have led to human beings constantly falling into crises: the fall of ancient Roman capital civilization, the collapse of complex societies in the Southern Song Dynasty, the change of hegemony among old capitalist countries, frequent global financial crises, and high barriers between poor and rich countries... In an increasingly sophisticated system of globalisation, capital is both a builder and a destroyer.
So, how to establish an open dissipative structural system to break the curse of "diminishing marginal returns of capital"? This book will help you uncover the logic of the development of human civilization.
