Please join us Sunday, March 1, 5-7pm in the West Conference Room of the National Humanities Center for a discussion with Professor Alexia Yates (History, University of Manchester and NHC). We’ll be discussing Alexia’s article, “Investor Letters and the Everyday Practice of Finance in Nineteenth-Century France” (an outgrowth of a book project entitled The Rise of the Rentier: France and the Making of Financial Modernity, 1830-1930), which is currently available on the password-protected Papers page of this website. Please contact a convener for this month’s password. As always, please note that this draft chapter should not be cited or circulated without its author’s permission.
We look forward to seeing you!
