Capasia

The Asian Origins of Global Capitalism

Our Mission

CAPASIA aspires to construct an innovative narrative of global capitalism’s origins through an analysis of the approximately 150 European ‘factories’ established in maritime Asia between 1500-1800. Rather than positioning these factories as zones of European commerce detached from their Asian context, CAPASIA envisions these institutions as sites of material and information exchange between Europeans and Asians.
