During global capitalism's long ascent from 16001850, workers of all kindsslaves, indentured servants, convicts, domestic workers, soldiers, and sailorsrepeatedly ran away from their masters and bosses, with profound effects. A Globa**l Histo**ry o**f Runaways, edited by Marcus Rediker, Titas Chakraborty, and Matthias van Rossum, compares and connects runaways in the British, Danish, Dutch, French, Mughal, Portuguese, and American empires. Together these essays show how capitalism required vast numbers of mobile workers who would build the foundations of a new economic order. At the same time, these laborers challenged that orderfrom the undermining of Danish colonization in the seventeenth century to the igniting of civil war in the United States in the nineteenth.
