super happy that @jakobmolinder.bsky.social and I have been awarded a grant from the Swedish Research Council! It's a three year project called "Top incomes, inequality and economic change: Sweden, 1911–1950" -- the abstract is in the image. I think that this can lead to some interesting research! 🤓

Until 1963, Companhia de Diamantes de Angola relied on forced labour in its diamond mines, making it arguably the last major employer in colonial Africa to uphold such practices. My IHR blog examines the economic forces that sustained this system and what finally brought about its end. #Angola
