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.
