Abstract

This book provides perspectives on the ways in which scholastic natural philosophy anticipated and contributed to the emergence of scientific thought. Historians of medieval science have hesitated to step outside the sphere of intellectual culture in their search for factors influencing proto-scientific thought. This book searches for influences both within and beyond university culture, and argues that the transformation of the conceptual model of the natural world c.1260-1380 was strongly influenced by the contemporary rapid monetisation of European society. It analyses the impact of the monetised market place on the most characteristic concern of natural philosophy of the period: its preoccupation with measurement, gradation, and the quantification of qualities.

Abstract

The theme of this volume is challenging both in its scale and in its scope. Its purpose is to take account of the state of research and writing on the symbiotic relationship between banking, trade and industry, and the state during the rise and expansion of capitalism, as well as to compare and assess the results in order to widen current perspectives. Topics range from the origins of banking in the Middle Ages, through the influence of banks in leading industrial economies as well as in 'latecomer' economies, to the expansion of banking in America and Asia.

Abstract

Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter system--to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. The problem with this version of history? There's not a shred of evidence to support it. Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginning of the agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems--a system that far preceeded cash or organized barter. It is in this era, Graeber shows, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. With the passage of time, however, virtual credit money was replaced by gold and silver coins--and the system as a whole began to decline. Interest rates spiked and the indebted became slaves. And the system perpetuated itself with tremendously violent consequences, with only the rare intervention of kings and churches keeping the system from spiraling out of control. Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a fascinating chronicle of this little known history--as well as how it has defined human history, and what it means for the credit crisis of the present day and the future of our economy.

Abstract

In "Beurzen van België" wordt de vroege geschiedenis van het beurswezen in de Belgische gewesten onderzocht. Napoleon vaardigde in 1801 een decreet uit voor de oprichting van beurzen in alle belangrijke handelssteden van het Franse Rijk. Deze beurzen zouden ten dienste staan van de handel in steden zoals Antwerpen, Brugge, Gent, Oostende en Brussel. Leuven, Dendermonde, Mons, Luik en Doornik volgden later. Het boek geeft inzicht in de oorsprong van heel wat beursmechanismen zoals die decennialang (en soms zelfs tot vandaag) hebben voortbestaan. Het boek is van belang voor economische historici omdat het voor het eerst in detail blootlegt welk belang de beurs als onderdeel van de kapitaalmarkt had. Voor economen biedt het de achtergrond om langetermijnreeksen met betrekking tot het beurswezen te verstaan
