Event Details

Presented LIVE on Zoom

British colonial North America was an unpredictable place. Frequent imperial wars, smaller local conflicts, market booms and busts, and erratic patterns of land acquisition and resource exploitation made it difficult for Americans to plan for their financial futures.

Join this year's NEH Fellow, Hannah Farber, in conversation with Caitlin Rosenthal of UC-Berkeley as they explore the dilemmas of borrowing and lending money amid extreme uncertainty in colonial North America.
