Lecture summary: This talk explores the history of decolonization from an economic and financial perspective. Through the examples of the French and British Empires, it shows that European settlers, officials, and other investors from North Africa and and East Africa in particular, removed assets from the colonial world upon decolonization. Yet when moving funds out of the imperial world, they often repatriated capital to a system of offshore tax havens in places such as Switzerland and the Bahamas rather than sending it to high-tax metropolitan countries like France and Britain. Decolonization thus fueled the expansion of tax havens that was taking place during these decades. This process of liquidating assets and removing capital moreover had important implications for the post-independence growth potential and development trajectory of newly independent so-called developing countries. The talk further asks what kind of effects such instances of capital flight from the colonial world had on the broader political economy of the 1950s-1970s both in the former colonial world and in metropolitan centers as well as the United States. Vanessa Ogle is associate professor of modern European history at the University of California - Berkeley, where she works on the history of capitalism, political economy, empire and decolonization, and legal history. She obtained her PhD from Harvard University and taught at the University of Pennsylvania before coming to Berkeley. Her first book, The Global Transformation of Time: 1870-1950, was published by Harvard University Press in 2015. Her current book project is Archipelago Capitalism: A History of the Offshore World, 1920s-1980s. It is the first archivally-based account of how the contemporary landscape of offshore tax havens, money markets, and flags of convenience shipping registries came into existence, with lasting implications for the rise of inequality throughout the twentieth century. Articles based off the project have appeared in the American Historical Review and most recently, in Past & Present.

The often-heard claim, "our company puts people first," has unfortunately become more of a cliche than something one sees regularly in today's organizations. Having said that, it is ever so exciting to find a company and a leader that truly implements a 'people-first' approach to leadership and teamwork. And equally exciting, is an unlikely source of inspiration and lessons for such great teamwork: music.In this episode, we meet CEO Vanessa Ogle of Enseo, one of the fastest-growing technology companies in the U.S. over the past 20 years. Enseo delivers sustainable technology and innovation to people-places like hotels and schools. Vanessa Ogle is also an avid musician who is just as comfortable in the boardroom as she is when playing with her band of musicians on stage.My Favorite Quotes from Vanessa Ogle in this episode, (paraphrased):"Nothing can happen without a team!”“Never throw out the Tamborine player in the band!”“Great teamwork is about trust, communication, vulnerability, and transparency!”The best ways to connect with Vanessa Ogle online are:Website: https://enseo.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessaogle/About the PROFITABLE HAPPINESS™ Podcast:The Profitable Happiness™ Podcast features stories from highly successful CEOs, Business Leaders, and Experts who exemplify the use of Inspirational Leadership, Employee Happiness, and Harmonious Teams to build business profitability. https://drpele.comSupport the show (https://drpele.com)

In this talk, the historian Vanessa Ogle (King's College London) explores the relationship between decolonisation and the emergence of offshore tax havens. Vanessa's talk is followed by a short comment by the economic historian Martin Chick (Edinburgh). This is a recording of an event hosted by the CSMCH in November 2018.
Our guest in this episode is Vanessa Ogle. Ogle is an associate professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of the 2015 book The Global Transformation of Time: 1870–1950. She is currently researching the topic of tax havens and offshore finance, and a portion of that research appears as an article in the December 2017 issue of the AHR. Its title is “Archipelago Capitalism: Tax Havens, Offshore Money, and the State, 1950s–1970s.” She speaks with AHR associate editor Konstantin Dierks. You can find Ogle’s article at https://doi.org/10.1093/ahr/122.5.1431.
From the 1880s onward, Beirut-based calendars and almanacs were in high demand as they packaged at least four different calendars into one, including: “the reformed Gregorian calendar; the unreformed, Julian calendar used by various churches of the East; the Islamic lunar Hijri calendar; and the Ottoman ‘Rumi’ or sometimes financial/’Maliyye’ calendar.” Described as a center of calendar pluralism, Beirut’s plurality of time was less an exception than it was a quandary to later advocates who aimed to organize time along geographical lines. In The Global Transformation of Time: 1870-1950 (Harvard University Press, 2015), Vanessa Ogle excavates 19th century movements to reform and standardize time: summer time, calendar time, time zones, religious time, and national time among others. Ogle questions the inevitability of 21st century time, demonstrating that it was the object of active creation for nearly two centuries prior. The rise of nationalism, the consolidation of colonial practice, along with autonomous religious reform movements simultaneously gave rise to, and were in turn, molded by advocacy focused on time. New communications technologies, such as the telegraph, and time-keeping devices, such as city clock towers, similarly served as the infrastructure around which time-keeping debates became organized. Written as a historical account, time becomes a central character in this book: casting a common lens over otherwise disconnected places and people, raising controversy, and shifting between the center and the periphery of a broader story of 19th century transformation.
