This lecture scrutinizes trends in the interconnected debates about the relationships between the histories of capitalism and colonialism, especially during global industrialization since the eighteenth century. New research has employed perspectives ranging from "counter-Eurocentric" global economic history to the "neo-liberal" strand of rational-choice institutionalism to illuminate the contribution of colonial trade to the first industrial revolution, whether colonial rule promoted or retarded the deepening of capitalist regimes of property and labor, and whether
Japanese or European rule was more favorable for the subsequent industrialization of former colonies. Reviewing this vast terrain, the lecture emphasizes interactions between colonial and indigenous capitalists, arguing against reductionist methodologies that have no room for evidence that complicates such simple binaries as inclusive versus extractive institutions, and economic rent versus economic growth.
