FWIW I remember a debate between him and Wallerstein in the 1980s at
Indiana Univ of Pennsylvania or some such combination. I was
clearly on Wallerstein's side and I thought Landes, with all due
respects, rested his argument on the ability of of capitalism making
watches! Wallerstein then would of course echo what Louis P is
arguing about the role of colonialism on European capitalism.

Landes is one of the 8 covered in Jim Blaut's "8 Eurocentric Historians".
