Reviews

Capitalism's Hidden Worlds is a welcome contribution to the study of the history of capitalism. Capturing a wide range of topics--many illustrating the interpenetration of social, political, and regulatory regimes--and geography, the collection pushes the history of capitalism beyond its U.S.-centered focus. --Josh Lauer, University of New Hampshire In collecting essays that explore historical examples of economic activity overlooked, concealed, or misunderstood, editors Kenneth Lipartito and Lisa Jacobson encourage us to rethink our understanding of how markets have worked historically and how we conceptualize capitalism more generally. --James Taylor, Lancaster University
