Letterbox - Making shell companies visible. Digital history as a tool to unveil global networks and local infrastructures

22 Novembre 2023

Research seminar with Benoît Majerus and Lars Wieneke.

 

Letterboxes, representing shell companies, are an emblematic symbol for a form of international capitalism that has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years and serve as a focal point for international criticism of the Luxembourgish financial system.

LETTERBOX is an innovative project that mixes recent questions in financial history with cutting-edge digital history. During the seminar we will address the challenges we have in making a very large corpus readable and present first results of our research.
