This question animated more than forty researchers to come together at the “Towards a Global History of Primitive Accumulation” conference. This conference at the International Institute of Social History (IISH) in Amsterdam, from 9 to 11 May, 2019, was co-sponsored by the IISH, the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Houston.
