This paper is a dialogue with historian Leonardo Marques, based on his article Commodity Chains and the global environmental history of the colonial Americas, published in the debates section of the journal Esboços: Histories in Global Contexts. In order to discuss the place of interdisciplinarity in the study of the history of capitalism, I basically highlight three aspects: the way in which the author explores the methodology proposed by Hopkins and Wallerstein around the notion of a commodity chain; the problem surrounding the incorporation of the world-system perspective and the contributions of the science of history to a global environmental history; the necessary dialogue with the geosciences to substantiate the approach.
