The global history of capitalism project seeks to contextualize the most powerful institutions of the modern world within the long global history of trade, commerce, and corporations.
Truly interdisciplinary in our perspective, the project provides a platform to invigorate, and enrich, the more traditional disciplines of business history, labour history, economic history, political economy, and institutional sociology.
