Technological and Organizational Sophistication in North American Indigenous Economies, 1000-1500
The Sir John Hicks Memorial Lecture in Economic History
Professor Ann M. Carlos is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Colorado Boulder. After moving from Dublin to Canada for her PhD she began a career-long study of North American economic history and the economies of indigenous peoples. Her interest in the connections between flows of goods, capital and people led her also to enhance our understanding of the development of the early modern London capital market. Her scholarship has made major contributions to the field of economic history, in particular making space for groups previously largely excluded from research as economic actors. She was president of the Economic History Association and was awarded the inaugural Alice E. Murray Medal by the Centre for Economic Policy and History, Trinity College Dublin 2024.
