He won't be able to help you. But for recent information Gavin Wright and two articles written in the 2020s, Eric Hilt has an excellent critique of the New economic history of capitalism, Trevor Burnard and his co-author have a recent critique. Ritch Sutch has a piece written in the late 2010s, Peter Coclanis has a recent piece, philip magness has several. alan olmstead has also written on topic
