New publication! In this paper in Critical Historical Studies, I undertake a detailed methodological engagement with Jairus Banaji’s remarkable scholarship on historical capitalism: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/732279

I’ve long admired and learned from Banaji’s work. This paper is my attempt to work through his expansive oeuvre and systematically explicate its methodological and theoretical contributions to the history of capitalism.
This looks excellent, congrats! (Personally annoyed this wasn’t out a couple months sooner… I have a couple things forthcoming around exploitation that engage with these bits of Banaji a fair bit and probably could have used this while I was writing!)
In addition to Banaji heads, this should be of interest to those that think about the history of capitalism (“new” and old), the Brenner debate, the modes of production debates, Lefebvre’s rural sociology and its relation to Sartre’s Marxism, the *dialectic*, among other things.
