Ethan Allen Homestead Enrichment Program: Why We Should Blame New England’s Fish for Capitalism with Zachary Bennett 02/19/2023

From the Ethan Allen Homestead:

Norwich University professor Zachary Bennett explores the important role nature played in the 18th century, (rather than decisions of the people), for society’s transition to capitalism.

Debates and protests over the toxic traits of capitalism are not uniquely modern phenomena. Eighteenth-century New Englanders were torn over what type of society they wanted to live in: a more traditional moral economy, or the increased wealth and comfort of the emerging market economy? Specifically, public debates over preserving the annual fish runs versus damming the rivers to power large mills were frequent. But, in this presentation, Bennett shows how in fact it is nature herself that holds more responsibility for society’s transition to capitalism rather than the decisions of the people.
