I just recently finished Caliban and the Witch and found it very good! It's an amazing account of the emergence of capitalism with a lot of further recommended reading in the notes. It really breaks down what primitive accumulation and the enclosures entailed, and it made me aware of pre-socialist liberation movements, both during feudalism and capitalism, and both in Europe and in its colonies. Throughout all this it also describes the social position of women and the construction of the modern patriarchy. I definitely highly recommend it.
