Jennifer Begakis

Welcome to my corner of your internet. As I finish rebuilding this site, so you may read essays and samples of my work, including my project, From Mouse to Monopoly, about the history of Disney and twentieth-century American capitalism,

2025 began on a bumpy note for those of us in California who call the Pacific Palisades home. All Begakis are safe, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness and support we received in the aftermath of this fire. Media or other outlets seeking more details on our rebuilding efforts, please use the contact information provided here. Press coverage on this topic is no longer a primary focus; still, I’m happy to address any questions. Today’s priority remains, just as it was, my scholarship on capitalism and its history.

The future remains onward and up, so continue to be in touch.
