The historical relationship between science and capitalism has long
stood as a central question in science studies, at least since its
foundations in the 1930s. Taking inspiration from the recent surge
of scholarly interest in the "history of capitalism," as well as
from renewed attention to political economy by historians of
science and technology, this Osiris volume revisits this classic
quandary, foregrounding the entanglements between these two
powerful and unruly historical forces and tracing the diverse ways
they mutually shaped each other. Key attention is paid to the
practices of knowledge work that enable both scientific and
capitalistic action and to the diversity of global sites and
circuits in which science/capitalism have been performed. The
assembled papers excavate an array of tangled nodes at the
science/capitalism nexus, spanning from the seventeenth century to
the twenty-first, from Nevada to Central Asia to Japan, from
microbiology to industrial psychology to public health.
