Wie lässt sich die Geschichte des Kapitalismus erzählen?

In the organizer's words:

Sven Beckert locates the beginnings of capitalism in his monumental publication "Kapitalismus. History of a World Revolution" (2025) as early as the 12th century. But how do you actually tell the story of capitalism? Is it a story of progress and growth? Or is it rather the story of a system of exploitation that has been perfected over centuries? How can we tell the story of an economic system whose rise is inextricably linked to global inequality, colonialism and forced labor? How did capitalism begin - and how will it end? Historian Sven Beckert talks to journalist Ann-Kristin Tlusty about a book that combines historical narrative with criticism and analysis.
