"This is an insightful, thought provoking ensemble of essays that explore the hidden economic forces, agents, and practices in the 19th and 20th century....Capitalist's Hidden World is a stimulating, insightful collection of much needed empirical studies concerning the shadow economy of the modern world. It contains a number of contributions that offer new perspectives, especially in the fields of global history and discussions on marginalized groups...[I]t is bound to make a big impact in the fields of social and economic history." - Paul Franke (Comparativ) "Capitalism's Hidden Worlds is a welcome contribution to the study of the history of capitalism. Capturing a wide range of topics-many illustrating the interpenetration of social, political, and regulatory regimes-and geography, the collection pushes the history of capitalism beyond its U.S.-centered focus." (Josh Lauer, University of New Hampshire) "In collecting essays that explore historical examples of economic activity overlooked, concealed, or misunderstood, editors Kenneth Lipartito and Lisa Jacobson encourage us to rethink our understanding of how markets have worked historically and how we conceptualize capitalism more generally." (James Taylor, Lancaster University)
