Abstract

The edited collection offers a comprehensive and intricate exploration of Ottoman cash waqfs, extending its scope from the early modern era to the onset of the twentieth century. It delves into the historical evolution of these private Islamic financial institutions, shedding light on their enduring influence and drawing insightful parallels with both contemporary Middle Eastern and European financial systems. Leveraging newly uncovered data spanning various regions of the Ottoman Empire, this work scrutinizes the dynamic functions of waqfs, revealing their significant imprint on today's financial paradigms. It advances existing scholarship by employing quantitative methodologies and systematic analysis of these emergent datasets, facilitating a sophisticated, longitudinal study of cash waqfs within the broader spectrum of historical interest rate trends and global credit markets. The chapters trace the transformation of waqfs from entities primarily holding immovable assets to those managing movable assets (cash waqfs), delineating their role in generating revenue for diverse purposes. These encompass funding state debts, fostering infrastructure development, and extending microcredit to economically marginalized segments of society. Additionally, the book explores the challenges and failures encountered in the transition of financial institutions during the Ottoman era, particularly in the context of the emergence of large public banks. The concluding segment of the book offers a comparative analysis of financial systems across various countries, including the shift from private to public banking in Italy, and contemplates the potential applicability of waqf models in contemporary microcredit initiatives and sustainable development strategies. This volume will appeal to scholars of financial history, economic history, Ottoman studies, and Islamic finance.

Abstract

In this striking new book it is argued that the outraged attitudes of neoliberals and many of those who work in financial institutions with regard to the size of public deficits are far from being genuine and merely mask a desire to dismantle social programs and reduce the size of government. The author makes a persuasive case that neoliberals actively seek the deepening of the financial crisis to support their ideological demands for the shrinking of government expenditure. Indeed, he argues that neoliberals have an interest in encouraging a psychosis about public deficits in the general popu

Abstract

L’histoire de l’impôt, de la monnaie et des institutions financières propres à la principauté bretonne du temps des ducs de la maison de Montfort (1364-1514) a fourni sa nécessaire trame à la thèse d’État de Jean Kerhervé avec la mise en place et le développement des services centraux d’ordonnancement et de contrôle de la dépense, le renforcement des structures de gestion du domaine et, étape cruciale, l’institution de prélèvements réguliers sur les fruits de la terre, la consommation urbaine et les échanges marchands. L’impôt, sa perception, son emploi, les fluctuations de la monnaie dessinent un premier axe de ce livre : l’histoire des finances. Cependant, sans les hommes qui les animent, les institutions ne seraient rien et Jean Kerhervé s’est toujours attaché à une approche sociale des milieux professionnels liés au monde de l’argent. Les gens de finance, qu’ils soient gestionnaires de quelque fraction reculée du domaine ducal, receveurs de droits affermés, comptables centraux, conseillers de la Chambre des comptes… appartiennent tous à une parentèle avec sa stratégie propre, ses réussites, ses échecs parfois ; ils disposent aussi d’un patrimoine, et l’on connaît assez bien les manoirs ruraux comme les maisons en ville des plus fortunés. Grâce aux apports incomparables de la prosopographie, la connaissance des hommes, de leur culture, de leur mode de vie devient le prolongement naturel du dévoilement des mécanismes fiscaux. Cet argent collecté par le prince l’est dans la perspective d’affirmer le rang de son duché dans le concert des puissances atlantiques aux deux derniers siècles du Moyen Âge. La construction d’un État princier suppose aussi une idéologie qui le légitime. Le recours au passé se révèle essentiel pour l’illustrer : l’historiographie modèle le destin des principautés émergentes dans les décennies marquées par la guerre de Cent Ans. L’étude de ces convergences fécondées par la réinterprétation du passé oriente donc logiquement un dernier axe de…

Abstract

The analysis of the microstructure of financial markets has been one of the most important areas of research in finance and has allowed scholars and practitioners alike to have a much more sophisticated understanding of the dynamics of price formation in financial markets. Frank de Jong and Barbara Rindi provide an integrated graduate level textbook treatment of the theory and empirics of the subject, starting with a detailed description of the trading systems on stock exchanges and other markets and then turning to economic theory and asset pricing models. Special attention is paid to models explaining transaction costs, with a treatment of the measurement of these costs and the implications for the return on investment. The final chapters review recent developments in the academic literature. End-of-chapter exercises and downloadable data from the book's companion website provide opportunities to revise and apply models developed in the text.

Abstract

Corporate capitalism was invented in nineteenth-century Britain; most of the market institutions that we take for granted today - limited companies, shares, stock markets, accountants, financial newspapers - were Victorian creations. So were the moral codes, the behavioural assumptions, the rules of thumb and the unspoken agreements that made this market structure work. This innovative study provides the first integrated analysis of the origin of these formative capitalist institutions, and reveals why they were conceived and how they were constructed. It explores the moral, economic and legal assumptions that supported this formal institutional structure, and which continue to shape the corporate economy of today. Tracing the institutional growth of the corporate economy in Victorian Britain and demonstrating that many of the perceived problems of modern capitalism - financial fraud, reckless speculation, excessive remuneration - have clear historical precedents, this is a major contribution to the economic history of modern Britain.
