Voor iedereen die (net als ik) een beetje verward is over waar het heen gaat met de wereldeconomie: ik sprak met historicus Sven Beckert, die wijze inzichten biedt in het verleden én de toekomst van het kapitalisme www.groene.nl/artikel/het-...
Ons kapitalisme zit midden in een 'regime change', zegt Harvard-historicus Sven Beckert. Wie zich verdiept in de geschiedenis van dit ‘bizarre’ economische systeem, kan volgens hem heel wat voorbarige toekomstvoorspellingen doorprikken.

Capitalism: A Global History by Sven Beckert
Took me almost 3 months to finish all 1076 page of this and it was worth every second. One of the best history books I've have ever read. Feels like its genuinely reworked my understanding of the past and present.
Capitalism Had a Beginning and Will Someday End
Historian Sven Beckert on where the capitalist system came from, what keeps it alive, and what it would take to bring it down.

Finally got @svenbeckert.bsky.social ’s latest. It’s huge in many ways. A book you can win any argument with. Not just because it’s a brilliant global history of capitalism (though it is). Also because, should all else fail, you can hit your opponent over the head with it & instantly knock them out.
If in Nashville this Friday, come join me for a talk on Capitalism: A Global History.

Our thanks to @svenbeckert.bsky.social and Diana Kim for joining us yesterday evening for a lively conversation about “Rethinking the History of Capitalism”!
I kapitalismus má svůj začátek a konec: Historik Sven Beckert o tom, odkud se kapitalistický systém vzal, co ho udržuje při životě a co by bylo zapotřebí k jeho svržení. Poslední desetiletí byla pro světové uspořádání hodně bouřlivá:… #Rozhovory #Společnost #Zprávyzezahraničí #dějiny #ekonomika
They're here, and they're spectacular.
Thanks to all for your help over the decade-plus it's taken to get here.
