 ofessor Sven Beckert (Harvard University) for a book talk on his new pub
 lication\, Capitalism: A Global History.\n\nA wine reception will follow

 nNo other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalis
 m. In this monumental new book\, Sven Beckert situates its story within 
 the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework. Born glob
 al-emerging from merchant communities across Asia\, Africa\, and Europe—
 capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradu
 ally before bursting onto the world scene. Decentring the European persp
 ective\, Beckert highlights agency\, resistance\, innovation\, and ruthl
 ess coercion around the world\, from the age of empire through to the ri
 se of Asian economies today.\n
