The project «Turning Land into Capital» aims to understand the role of land as a means of (re)producing wealth in Latin America and the Caribbean. It focuses particularly on the two historical periods from the 1860s to the Great Depression of 1929 and from the 1980s to the 2020s. The project is aligned along three thematic lines of research: 1) Political Constellations; 2) Cultures of Wealth; and 3) Ecological Transformations of Landscapes.
