CfP: Rethinking the History of Global Capitalism
Rio de Janeiro, March 12-14, 2024
Organizers: Tamis Parron and Sven Beckert

Its expansion in space and in society has been of such impact that some scholars now speak of the current geological era as the “capitolocene.” It is impossible to understand the world we inhabit without also understanding capitalism.
