The Atlanta-based Seminar for the Comparative History of Labor, 
Industrialization, Technology and Society announces a conference to be 
held in Atlanta, on the Emory University campus, March 15-16, 1996.  The 
eight panelists will present a cross-national examination of the 
relationship between political and economic change during the "long 
nineteenth century."  This is an attempt to bring new methods and 
perspectives to bear on the development of capitalism in America, France, 
Germany and Great Britain.  Any interested scholars are warmly invited to 
attend and to participate in discussion.
