The Shifting Center of Capitalism: A Historical Map

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=230457&nl=daily
the bustling banks of Renaissance Florence to the neon-lit pulse of
Wall Street, capitalism has never stayed still. Capitalism, like
power, has always been in motion, flowing from one center to another
in a historical quest for trust, security, and centrality.

But what defines the “center” of capitalism? Is it where goods are
made, money is stored, or laws are respected? More importantly, why
does the center change and what happens when it does?

Editor's Note: Let's trace the arc of this global system through four
epochs, where capitalism's gravitational core shifted across
continents.

What The Paper Has to Say About Journalism - The New Yorker
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=230457&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=230457&nl=daily]
Early on in The Paper, a new Peacock mockumentary series that follows
the staff of the Truth Teller, a fictional newspaper in Toledo, Ohio,
viewers are shown a grainy flashback to the institutions heyday, in
1971: the newsroom is bustling, and the publisher is boasting about
its foreign bureaus and a recent story that got a third of the city
council indicted on bribery charges. In the present day, its clear
that the Truth Teller is in much worse shape. Its staff is tiny, and
shares a floor with Softees, a toilet-paper brandand a more lucrative
enterpriseowned by the same parent company, Enervate. Mare Pritti
(Chelsea Frei), the compositor who puts the newspaper together, pulls
mind-numbing stories from a newswire. (Elizabeth Olsen Reveals Her
Nighttime Skin Routine; UV nail lamps cause hand Melanoma but not with
these 12 tricks.) Enervate sells products made out of paper, an
executive named Ken (played by the excellent British comedian Tim Key)
says. That might be office supplies, that might be janitorial
paperwhich is toilet tissue, toilet-seat protectorsand local
newspapers. And that is in order of quality.
