The Routledge Handbook of Global Economic History documents and interprets the development of economic history as a global discipline from the later nineteenth century to the present day. Exploring the normative and relativistic nature of different schools and traditions of thought, this handbook not only examines current paradigmatic western approaches, but also those conceived in less open societies and in varied economic, political and cultural contexts. In doing so, this book clears the way for greater critical understanding and a more genuinely global approach to economic history.This handbook brings together leading international contributors in order to systematically address cultural and intellectual traditions around the globe. Many of these are exposed for consideration for the first time in English. The chapters explore dominant ideas and historiographical trends, and open them up to critical transnational perspectives.This volume is essential reading for both academics and students in economic and social history. As this field of study is very much a bridge between the social sciences and humanities, the issues examined in the book will also have relevance for those seeking to understand the evolution of other academic disciplines under the pressures of varied economic, political and cultural circumstances, on both national and global scales.

Intellectuals since the Industrial Revolution have been obsessed with whether, when, and why capitalism will collapse. This riveting account of two centuries of failed forecasts of doom reveals the key to capitalism’s durability.Prophecies about the end of capitalism are as old as capitalism itself. None have come true. Yet, whether out of hope or fear, we keep looking for harbingers of doom. In Foretelling the End of Capitalism, Francesco Boldizzoni gets to the root of the human need to imagine a different and better world and offers a compelling solution to the puzzle of why capitalism has been able to survive so many shocks and setbacks.Capitalism entered the twenty-first century triumphant, its communist rival consigned to the past. But the Great Recession and worsening inequality have undermined faith in its stability and revived questions about its long-term prospects. Is capitalism on its way out? If so, what might replace it? And if it does endure, how will it cope with future social and environmental crises and the inevitable costs of creative destruction? Boldizzoni shows that these and other questions have stood at the heart of much analysis and speculation from the early socialists and Karl Marx to the Occupy Movement. Capitalism has survived predictions of its demise not, as many think, because of its economic efficiency or any intrinsic virtues of markets but because it is ingrained in the hierarchical and individualistic structure of modern Western societies.Foretelling the End of Capitalism takes us on a fascinating journey through two centuries of unfulfilled prophecies. An intellectual tour de force and a plea for political action, it will change our understanding of the economic system that determines the fabric of our lives.

The Poverty of Clio challenges the hold that cliometrics--an approach to economic history that employs the analytical tools of economists--has exerted on the study of our economic past. In this provocative book, Francesco Boldizzoni calls for the reconstruction of economic history, one in which history and the social sciences are brought to bear on economics, and not the other way around. Boldizzoni questions the appeal of economics over history--which he identifies as a distinctly American attitude--exposing its errors and hidden ideologies, and revealing how it fails to explain economic behavior itself. He shows how the misguided reliance on economic reasoning to interpret history has come at the expense of insights from the humanities and has led to a rejection of valuable past historical research. Developing a better alternative to new institutional economics and the rational choice approach, Boldizzoni builds on the extraordinary accomplishments of twentieth-century European historians and social thinkers to offer fresh ideas for the renewal of the field.Economic history needs to rediscover the true relationship between economy and culture, and promote an authentic alliance with the social sciences, starting with sociology and anthropology. It must resume its dialogue with the humanities, but without shrinking away from theory when constructing its models. The Poverty of Clio demonstrates why history must exert its own creative power on economics.

Imaginando el final del capitalismo

"El capitalismo entró triunfante en el siglo XXI y su rival comunista quedó relegado al pasado. Pero la gran recesión y el incremento de la desigualdad han socavado la fe en su estabilidad, reavivando los interrogantes sobre sus perspectivas a largo plazo. ¿Está el capitalismo en vías de desaparición? Si es así, ¿qué podría sustituirlo? Y si perdura, ¿cómo afrontará las futuras crisis sociales y medioambientales y los inevitables costes de la destrucción creativa? Francesco Boldizzoni muestra que estas y otras preguntas han estado en el centro de muchos análisis y especulaciones desde los primeros socialistas y Karl Marx hasta la actualidad. El capitalismo ha sobrevivido a las predicciones de su desaparición no, como muchos piensan, por su eficiencia económica o por las virtudes intrínsecas de los mercados, sino porque está arraigado en la estructura jerárquica e individualista de las sociedades occidentales modernas.Imaginando el fin del capitalismo nos lleva a un fascinante viaje a través de dos siglos de profecías incumplidas. Un tour de force intelectual y un llamamiento a la acción política, que cambiará nuestra comprensión del sistema económico que determina el tejido de nuestras vidas.«Este libro, bellamente escrito, capta la peculiar complicidad entre la esperanza y la decepción que caracteriza las profecías sobre el fin del capitalismo en los últimos tres siglos. Una lectura de enorme interés, tanto como un relato que advierte sobre estas profecías como un estudio modélico de la lógica del propio capitalismo». Arjun Appadurai, New York University«Imaginando el final del capitalismo es un libro esencial para cualquier persona interesada en la historia intelectual y la economía política. Desempeñará un papel fundamental en los debates actuales sobre el capitalismo y su futuro, así como sobre la crisis y la teoría de la crisis». Wolfgang Streeck, director emérito del Max-Planck-Institut für Gesellschaftsforschung de Colonia«Francesco Boldizzoni muestra cómo la predicción del colapso del capitalismo es tan antigua como el propio capitalismo. Analiza una tradición de pensamiento económico que ha justificado la postura de no hacer nada en nombre de la revolución y que se resiste a aprender las lecciones de sus propios fracasos». Jeremy Adelman, Princeton University«Boldizzoni nos lleva a través de la trepidante historia de los fracasados agoreros del capitalismo, para explicar por qué subestimaron claramente su alargada esperanza de vida y su obstinada durabilidad. Una magnífica historia intelectual de cómo los pensadores han predicho e imaginado (erróneamente) el final del capitalismo desde la época de Marx hasta hoy». Eli Cook, University of Haifa«Un logro intelectual... Imaginando el final del capitalismo será un excelente punto de referencia para debatir el futuro del capitalismo y de la historia humana». Hans G. Despain, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books"
