HIST 559

Economic History, the Rise of Capitalism

A graduate seminar that traces the rise of capitalism from the 17th to the late 20th century through the commodities that built it, sugar, cotton, opium, coal, tea, oil, and uranium, using each as a lens onto slavery, empire, industrialization, and energy regimes. You'll read widely across economic and global history (Mintz, Beckert, Pomeranz, Mitchell, Yergin), argue with that literature in discussion, and produce a research paper of your own. It sits at the intersection of history and political economy, and is most useful if you want the long backstory behind why the modern world is shaped the way it is rather than a topical survey.
