"The Becoming of a Corrodian. Retirement, life-cyclic change and social mobility in the early modern period"

"Hoe groot was de betrokkenheid van Amsterdam en het Amsterdamse stadsbestuur bij de slavernij en slavenhandel in Azië en in het Atlantisch gebied?"
Vulnerabilities avoided and resilience built. Collective action, poor relief and diversification as weapons of the weak (The Campine, Belgium, 1350-1845)
'Ribbons of the "Empire". Merchant-Capitalism and Labour Commodification in Early Modern Italy'.
Abstract: From the 16th century onwards, ribbons became fashionable objects in both clothing and home interiors as accessory and symbolic items representing global commodities capable of connecting different regions of the world.
Since the publication of Piketty’s Capital in the twenty-first century in 2014 social inequality has become the talk of the town. Although the field as such is not new, with the ongoing process of globalisation and the rise of populist political movements, the topic has gained urgency. Interestingly in the work of Piketty, but also others like Branko Milanovic, Walter Scheidel and Bas van Bavel, history plays a prominent role.
