L’histoire telle que l’aborde le Centre d’histoire économique et sociale François-Simiand consiste en l’analyse des phénomènes économiques et sociaux considérés dans leur durée historique. Cette formulation n’est pas de l’ordre de l’évidence et engage une série d’hypothèses analytiques structurantes. Le Centre a une double ambition : d’abord, promouvoir une approche historique de l’économie ; ensuite, contribuer à désenclaver l’histoire économique pour la rendre pleinement sociale.

CAP-HIST Doctoral Summer School : « Conflicts in the History of Capitalism »
(2-6 June, 2025)
Conflicts in the History of Capitalism: Themes, Approaches, Methods
Summary
The core mission of the European Laboratory Project “History of Capitalism” (CAP-HIST Lab) is to comprehensively re-evaluate the history of capitalism. To that end, its members ( Centre François Simiand (EHESS/Paris School of Economics-PSE), Institut ‘Figuerola’ of History and Social Sciences (UC3M) and the Paul Bairoch Institute of Economic History (University of Geneva) seek to foster a collective reflection on the state of economic history and the evolution of capitalism from an international and multidisciplinary perspective. The CAP-HIST Lab is structured around four main lines of research: north-south economic relations and the global history of Latin capitalisms; the history of inequality; business and financial history; and political economy, institutions, and ideologies. Over the coming years, the CAP-HIST Lab is organising three biennial workshops/summer schools designed to provide a forum for PhD students and emerging and senior scholars to discuss and dissect critical themes and methodologies in the history of capitalism.

The inaugural workshop/summer school, entitled Conflicts in the History of Capitalism: Themes, Approaches, Methods, will be held in early June 2025 by the Paul Bairoch Institute of Economic History at the Geneva School of Social Sciences, University of Geneva.
