🗣 We’ve opened a call for papers for the workshop "The gains of their sorrow: Slavery, the slave trade, and the rise of capitalism in the other South", which we will host on 19 June 2024.

The workshop seeks to open a debate on bridges connecting research focused on the Middle Passage and the one focused on mines, plantations, urban jobs, etc.

Newest episode of A History of Capitalism is now out!

Money. You can't live without it these days. In this episode we find out how money rose to its dominant position by the year 1400 CE, how money's limitations created banking, and how banking developed during these early years.
