Cap-Hist Lab Doctoral Summer School (IHEPB)

The core mission of the European Laboratory Project “History of Capitalism” () is to��comprehensively re-evaluate the history of capitalism. To that end, its members (����(EHESS/-PSE),����() and the��Paul Bairoch Institute of Economic History��(AV����Ƶ) seek to foster a collective reflection on the state of economic history and the evolution of capitalism from an international and multidisciplinary perspective. The��CAP-HIST Lab is structured around four main lines of research: north-south economic relations and the��global history of Latin capitalisms; the history of inequality; business and financial history; and political��economy, institutions, and ideologies. Over the coming years, the CAP-HIST Lab is organising three��biennial workshops/summer schools designed to provide a forum for PhD students and emerging and��senior scholars to discuss and dissect critical themes and methodologies in the history of capitalism.����

The inaugural workshop/summer school, entitled Conflicts in the History of Capitalism: Themes,��Approaches, Methods, will be held in early June 2025 by the Paul Bairoch Institute of Economic History��at the Geneva School of Social Sciences, AV����Ƶ.
