This course surveys the history of capitalist institutions and ideas in America from the colonial era to the present. We examine how practices that many Americans take for granted today originally arose and fundamentally changed over time, such as relying on private property and private profit as the main modes of making a living and of organizing and allocating resources. We explore how capitalist social relations have been tested and contested throughout American history, and how the structure of the American economy has been shaped by deep social struggles and crises. In this way, the course offers a historical framework for understanding current conflicts over racial and class inequality, financial instability, and environmental sustainability. Major themes include the interdependence of capitalism, colonialism, and slavery in early America; the transformation of labor, land, and natural resources into market commodities and financial assets in the long nineteenth century; and the geography of economic development in the modern United States and its relations abroadcity and suburb, Rust Belt and Sunbelt, Global North and Global South.
