Guns, Germs, and Steel. Even though a lot of historians poopoo Diamond's main argument I'd add it because it speaks towards your subject.

Its now time to kick the story of capitalism off with a bang. Gunpowder did more than just change warfare. Its production and use completely transformed society, governance, and gave rise to one of the first modern industries. Nothing shows these changes better than the Ottoman Turks, the world's first gunpowder empire, and their 1453 CE conquest of Constantinople.
