While capitalism is undoubtedly a global phenomenon, for the longest time its history has been written in national segments: American, British, Japanese capitalism. In this seminar, we seek to explore the global turn in the recent literature on the history of capitalism. The aim is less to arrive at a comprehensive narrative, but rather to assess different ways of situating, and explaining, capitalism in a global context. Themes will include: capitalism as a concept, varieties of capitalism, the global history of commodities, capitalism and empire, capitalism and nature, the recent debate on inequality, and others.
