Please find here a summary of the
event “Capitalism in Motion”, an online discussion on the development of
capitalism to which several legal historians also contributed.
The GiD Lab online panel
discussion “Capitalism in Motion. Imagining, Transforming, and Inventing
Economic Forms over Time” demonstrated how the views of historians and scholars
might contribute to the discussion on the development of capitalism over
several centuries and into the modern era. Topics of discussion addressed in
particular were the rise of business corporations in the medieval Mediterranean
world and beyond, the invention and replication of economic tools – such as
money, contracts and joint stock companies – and how the transformation and
migration of key components of capitalism occurred across geographies, between
cultures and over time. The event took place on 5 November 2020 at the Berlin
Science Week and was organized by the German Historical Institute in Rome (GHI
Rome) and the Central Office of the Max Weber Foundation in Bonn (MWS). In case
you missed it, you can find a short event report by Madeleine Winkler and the
recording here.
