Late Capitalism by Ernest Mandel: https://www.versobooks.com/books/612-late-capitalism https://www.versobooks.com/books/612-late-capitalism I haven't read it since undergrad, but he broke up the stages of capitalism in three parts, with the earliest being a free market capitalism up until the mid 19th century, then monopoly capitalism up until around WWII, and late capitalism following that era. It is dominated by a pervasive industrialization that is fairly unrestrained by national borders and a global culture centered around mass consumerism.
