Dear Naw April Wah, in case you're still interested in understanding the connections between frontiers and (proto)capitalism: Beckert, Sven; Bosma, Ulbe; Schneider, Mindi et al. "Commodity frontiers and the transformation of the global countryside: a research agenda", in: Journal of Global History: 2021. Pp. 1-16. --> it's a great, short paper.
