Where it came from
Published in 2011 by Harvard University Press, Translating Empire: Translation and the Origins of Imperialism in Eighteenth-Century Europe examines the pivotal role of translation in the dissemination of political and economic thought. Sophus A. Reinert explores how the migration of ideas across linguistic borders allowed peripheral European nations to adapt the strategies of dominant powers, thereby shaping the development of modern imperial projects.
Reinert’s study is grounded in extensive archival research, focusing on the intellectual exchange between Enlightenment thinkers and political practitioners. The work was well-received within academic circles for its interdisciplinary approach, effectively bridging the history of economics, linguistics, and political theory to illustrate how the translation of mercantilist literature fundamentally altered the trajectory of state formation and global commerce.
