Our librarians developed this research guide to support the BLS course: Law and Capitalism in U.S. History. We are continuing to expand Brooklyn Law School Library's collection. When you access this guide in future, please reload this web page.
Excerpt from Professor Sarah Winsberg's course syllabus:
Why and how have markets come to shape so much of American life? Legal history is a key tool in discovering and understanding the answers. Throughout U.S. history, law has been intertwined with capitalism, enabling, shaping, and enforcing its most important developments.

BLS students who plan to work off campus and do not live in a BLS residence: implement the BLS proxy server instructions for 1 web browser, then close/reopen that browser. BLS librarians recommend implementing the proxy instructions for Firefox browser. This will allow you to access BLS ebooks off campus. (If you successfully implement the BLS proxy instructions, a prompt will appear requesting your BLS username/password.)
