Friday, February 28 2020, 3:30pm (Room TBA) The Capitalism Reading Group in conjunction with the Gender, Race, and Sexuality reading group will be hosting this event. We will be reading excerpts from Nan Enstad’s 2018 work Cigarettes, Inc.: An Intimate History of Corporate Imperialism (U Chicago Press). All newly accepted students are invited to this open house as well as current students and faculty. Refreshments will be provided and all interested parties will be invited to a happy hour event afterwards downtown. If anyone would like copy of the excerpts they can reach out to either Terrell Orr or Sarah Anderson. From U Chicago Press - "Traditional narratives of capitalist change often rely on the myth of the willful entrepreneur from the global North who transforms the economy and delivers modernity—for good or ill—to the rest of the world. With Cigarettes, Inc., Nan Enstad upends this story, revealing the myriad cross-cultural encounters that produced corporate life before World War II. "
