Chitty: What accounted for the rise to economic and military power of this geographically and demographically small Dutch polity beginning in the 16th century. Chitty following Uri then turns the United provinces, a rising economic colonial and naval power whose Protestant leaders had broken the northern half of their two four Spanish Netherlands free from Habsburg control. One aspect of what's so special about Chris following the war of the Spanish succession are working conditions. We're getting closer to the modern end of the story, right? Or more towards something like a proto modern understanding by a group of people that they might in some funny way constitute a political force and maybe even like a fraction of a class.
Featuring Max Fox and Chris Nealon on the late Christopher Chitty's book Sexual Hegemony: Statecraft, Sodomy, and Capital in the Rise of the World System.
