 | Transatlantic Speculations: Globalization and the Panics of 1873 Subjects: Depressions -- 1873 -- United States; Depressions -- 1873 -- Europe; Speculation -- History -- 19th century; Journalism Commercial -- 19th century; Hannah Catherine Davies offers a new lens on nineteenth-century globalization by exploring the ways in which the crises of 1873 challenged notions of economic and moral order. She maps the dual "transatlantic speculations": the financial speculation that led to these panics as well as the interpretative speculations that sprouted in their wake. Hannah Catherine Davies is assistant professor of modern history at the University of Zurich. |
