My colleague, Dr. Moritz Foellmer (University of Amsterdam), and I will be hosting a two-day event in Washington DC in 2018. We have invited 16 scholars from across Europe and North America to discuss the usefulness of historicizing capitalism as a way to better understand Germany's first democracy and the dictatorship and war that followed. Our goal is to bring together cultural historians and business historians to see if new interpretive ground can be broken using the methods that historians of capitalism in the United States have popularized in recent years.
Impact
We expect new collaborations to grow out of this event. We also plan to publish a book of the best research connected to this theme. Editors at Oxford University Press have declared interest in the project.
Student Experience
A select number of graduate students will attend the workshop and present findings from their dissertation research.
