Information on the seminar, including the programme, can be found here. Some short introductory presentations of our approach can be found on our youtube channel. Anyone interested in taking a more detailed look at our approach of constructing a realistic, non-universalist paradigm for analyzing capitalism by reconnecting accounting to the historically specific foundations in roman law it is empirically based upon, and then contrasting this with informal, traditional social relations in stateless contexts, can download some further material below. Our own papers are marked by showing the author in bold print, but are augmented by papers detailing the most fundamental building blocks of our conceptual framework: Law, Legal Institutionalism, Mechanics of Balances, and Legal/Economic Anthropology. All links will open in a new tab.
