As I build by library of economic history texts, I am adding more books to the "Beyond Economic Globalization" reading list.

Today, I added Capitalism and Slavery by Eric Williams, a seminal account of how the trans-Atlantic slave trade fueled the British Industrial Revolution in the first wave of globalization of the capitalist mode of production. This is a good one to read in tandem with Walter Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa.

I should aslo note that I've dropped Robert Gilpin's Global Political Economy from the list. I first read Gilpin's prescursor The Political Economy of International Relations as an undergrad. When I recently returned to read this updated version, I was thoroughly underwhelmed by what I once found to be incisive (albeit ideologically realist-neoliberal) analysis of the world economic system. So off it goes.

As promised, more on Eric Williams after the weekend...

Repeat Globalize This! readers might be wondering where I've been lately.

To put all rumors to rest, no I haven't been moonlighting as a successul E-bay trader. That's not me.


Mostly, recently, I've been buried in the book stacks of the W.E.B. DuBois Memorial Library reading big piles of books, occupying countless bandwith, and writing megabytes worth of Microsoft Word Files.

As the 2004 US Presidential campaign careens toward almost certain electoral chaos on November 2nd (and likely for days and weeks after), I am busy writing a brief history of the trans-Atlantic slave trade and British industrialization (to be posted soon upon submission)--one of the many arduous chores set before me by the Master Craftsmen of the modern day Guild System known as graduate school. As I clear hurdle after hurdle of this apprenticeship process, I fear that my ability to keep tabs on the ins and outs of Washington politics and the "inside baseball" look at economic policy in the international political economy. Postings will still be regular, but with greater periodicity (i.e. less frequent). I'm only one man...
