Abstract

This book discusses the impact of cameralism on the practices of governance, early modern state-building and economy in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe. It argues that the cameralist conception of state and economy - a form of 'science' of government dedicated to reforming society while promoting economic development, and often associated mainly with Prussia - had significant impact far beyond Germany and Austria. In fact, its influence spread into Denmark, Sweden, Russia, Portugal, Northern Italy and other parts of Europe. In this volume, an international set of experts discusses administrative practices and policies in relation to population, forestry, proto-industry, trade, mining affairs, education, police regulation, and insurance. The book will appeal to early modernists, economic historians and historians of economic thought. MARTEN SEPPEL is Associate Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Tartu, Estonia. He holds an MPhil from the University of Cambridge. KEITH TRIBE has a PhD from the University of Cambridge and taught at the University of Keele (UK) from 1976 to 2002, retiring as Reader in Economics. He is now working as a highly regarded professional translator and independent scholar. Forthcoming work includes a new translation of Max Weber, Economy and Society Part One (Harvard University Press, 2018). His publications include Strategies of Economic Order (CUP, 1995/2007); The Economy of the Word. Language, History, and Economics (OUP, 2015); and (edited with Pat Hudson) The Contradictions of Capital in the Twenty-First Century (Agenda, 2016).

Abstract

In the growing and dynamic economy of nineteenth-century America, businesses sold vast quantities of goods to one another, mostly on credit. This book explains how business people solved the problem of whom to trust--how they determined who was deserving of credit, and for how much. Rowena Olegario traces the way resistance, mutual suspicion, skepticism, and legal challenges were overcome in the relentless quest to make information on business borrowers more accurate and available.

Abstract

Joachim von Puttkamer führt die Geschichte(n) Ungarns, Polens, Tschechiens und der Slowakei zusammen und überwindet so die nationalen Perspektiven. Der Band gibt eine kompakte Einführung in die Grundlinien der ostmitteleuropäischen Geschichte seit dem späten 18. Jahrhundert. In der bewährten Dreiteilung der Reihe diskutiert von Puttkamer zentrale Forschungsprobleme von Staat und Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, Nation und Erinnerungskultur in einer hochkomplexen Region und bietet Einblicke in aktuelle historische Kontroversen unserer östlichen Nachbarn. Die vergleichende Zusammenschau der polnischen, tschechischen, slowakischen und ungarischen Geschichte erschließt Konvergenzen und Divergenzen der ostmitteleuropäischen Adelsgesellschaften in ihrer Entwicklung zu den Demokratien der Gegenwart. "Eine rundum gelungene, auf die Grundstrukturen einer komplexen Geschichtsregion konzentrierte Darstellung." Prof. Dr. Eduard Mühle, Deutsches Historisches Institut Warschau

Abstract

"Between 1660 and 1700, London established itself as the capital and commercial hub of a thriving Atlantic empire, accounting for three quarters of the nation's colonial trade, and playing a vital coordinating role in an increasingly coherent Atlantic system. Nuala Zahedieh's unique study provides the first detailed picture of how that mercantile system was made to work. By identifying the leading colonial merchants, she shows through their collective experiences how London developed the capabilities to compete with its continental rivals and ensure compliance with the Navigation Acts. Zahedieh shows that in making mercantilism work, Londoners helped to create the conditions which underpinned the long period of structural change and economic growth which culminated in the Industrial Revolution"--Provided by publisher.
