Coming soon . . . this site is being redesigned and will soon be relaunched at historyofcapitalism.org.

At a time when almost every aspect of
capitalism -- business strategies and structures, corporate governance, technology, work relations, consumer
and investor culture, government regulation -- seems to be in a state of flux, it
can be difficult to know what to make of it all. A well-informed historical perspective,
while no crystal ball, at least offers a longer-term perspective in which to situate the changes underway
today and to gauge their significance. |

This page provides a
gateway into the history of capitalism in the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries, another era when far-reaching changes were underway.
Because comparisons across nations are so important in gauging historical
significance, this site, like my research, ranges beyond the U.S. to
Britain, France, and Germany. Over time I hope to include other parts
of the world as well. |

Follow the links at the left to explore the early history of
corporations (subject of my current research),
major historical benchmarks, research
tools, "primary sources" online, reading lists, syllabi or class websites,
archival
websites around the world, and other sites of interest. Suggestions
are welcome! |
