Although its impact on various regional subfields has been uneven, writing histories of capitalism has become an increasingly institutionalized endeavor during the past decade. The interest in economic matters has grown in the aftermath of the 2007 financial crisis, which provoked the feeling that in the wake of the cultural turn since the 1980s, historians had left themselves without a framework to engage with such issues. These are welcome developments. Nevertheless, like all returns and repetitions, this is a return with a difference. Writing in the aftermath of the cultural turn, historians are justifiably unwilling to view the “economic” as merely an objective domain of brute facticity and instead prefer to see it as constituted by human action. While this is an unobjectionable aim, practitioners in the field have not clarified precisely how the insights of the cultural turn might be incorporated into histories of capitalism. In fact, as one reviewer has acknowledged, “it is not even clear what defines capitalism,” and several working definitions that historians use “are inconsistent with each other.” It is clearly a problem if the object of historical investigation is nebulously and inconsistently grasped in conceptual terms. It makes it difficult to distinguish between capitalist and noncapitalist histories, and more fundamentally, it leaves unclear why the concept is needed at all. It may serve rhetorical purposes to revel in the","PeriodicalId":43410,"journal":{"name":"Critical Historical Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48963268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three of the contributors to this issue of Critical Historical Studies, Craig Calhoun, Edward LiPuma, and myself, were participants in that now legendary seminar. Moishe was talking about a book on volume 2 of Capital even when he left the center to become a Harper Fellow at the University of Chicago in 1987; it would remain unfinished at his death, but another contributor to this issue, Robert Meister, would attend Moishe’s penultimate seminar on volume 2 in the spring of 2015, which would (finally) determine whether volume 2 was written in the form of an immanent critique, as Moishe maintained volume 1 was. In 1988, the center began a collaboration with Pierre Bourdieu that introduced an anthropological perspective on the development of capitalism. Moishe would join Craig and Ed in editing Pierre Bourdieu: Critical Perspectives, and Ed and I, inspired by Bourdieu and Moishe, would write Financial Derivatives and the Globalization of Risk, which would set us down the path of derivative finance; we would ultimately join Bob Meister and Randy Martin in a working seminar on derivatives organized by Arjun Appadurai at New York University. Ed, Bob, and I often argued with Moishe about the role of derivative finance in late capitalism, and as Bob relates in his essay, although Moishe saw derivatives as producing unprecedented wealth, he did not see them as producing a new form of value even as value became increasingly anachronistic in an age of finance-driven capitalism; it was the contradiction between value and wealth that was propelling late capitalism.","PeriodicalId":43410,"journal":{"name":"Critical Historical Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/708008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46826177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
