Our second meeting of the history of capitalism reading group will address the thematic question: What do we do with the concept of modes of production in the historiography of capitalism? To tackle this, we will be reading three short articles by different scholars, addressing different aspects of the theme.

David Graeber, "Turning Modes of Production Inside Out Or, Why Capitalism is a Transformation of Slavery," Critique of Anthropology, 2006.

Jairus Banaji, "Globalising the History of Capital: Ways Forward" Historical Materialism 26.3 (2018) 143–166.

Nelson Lichtenstein, "The Return of Merchant Capitalism," International Labor and Working-Class History · March 2012.
