This book tries to decenter work on the history of capitalism by
looking at the longue duree from the tenth century; at regions as
diverse as Song China, South and South East Asia, Latin America and
the Ottoman and Safavid Empires; and exploring the plurality of
developments over this extended time and space. The authors argue
against conventional accounts that locate the origins of capitalism
solely within Europe and within the conjuncture of the industrial
revolution. The essays emphasize historical conjunctures, flows of
commodities, circulation of knowledge and personnel, the role of
mercantile capital and small producers and stress throughout the
necessity to think beyond present day national boundaries. The
volume contends with cliches of Western exceptionalism to make a
set of historical arguments about non-Western and interconnected
economic developments across the globe, prior to the era of
colonialism. It argues fundamentally that the multiple histories of
capitalism can be better understood from a truly global
perspective.
