During the eighteenth century European governments began systematically using an international credit structure whose centre was the Amsterdam capital market. This book reconstructs that system and surveys its principal effects on the European and especially the Dutch economies. Eighteenth-century states borrowed chiefly to finance wars and, increasingly toward the century's end, debts from earlier wars. Military and naval spending and debt service together consumed up to eighty percent of peacetime revenues and more in war. Borrowing on international markets stabilised previously disruptive deficit financing techniques and moderated the economic consequences of sharply irregular war spending. This development however, eased the problems of war-making more than it developed national economies or enhanced prosperity. The Dutch, heretofore seen as having squandered the advantage of cheap credit, actually faced the difficult problem of finding productive uses for their savings at satisfactory returns.

Public understanding of the relationship between science and religion is dominated by US and UK perspectives and research that has been carried out in Western Protestant Anglophone contexts. This has enabled a culturally specific narrative of conflict to dominate public discussions of evolution, science, and religion, obscuring the varied cultural contexts and complexities within which engagement with science takes place and the growing influence of non-religious identities and diverse forms of spirituality.Representing one of the most wide-ranging and original contributions to the emerging body of research on the relationship between religion, non-religion, and science in society, this innovative and timely collection revisits, challenges, and rethinks longstanding assumptions by decentring positions and perspectives that have until recently dominated discussions of science and belief. Drawing on almost a decade of multidisciplinary research, International Perspectives on Science, Culture, and Belief: From Complexity to Globality brings together incisive global perspectives exploring the social and cultural drivers of the relationships between evolutionary science and belief. Highlighting the natures and varieties of the interrelation between science and belief globally, this volume addresses the relationships between science, culture, and belief from multiple disciplines, methodologies, and geographical contexts including South Asia, Latin America, Africa, and Australia as well as Europe and North America.This work has particular relevance in the increasingly polarised post-pandemic world, shining a light for the first time on the multifaceted interplay between social identities and cultural narratives in debates that are often about far more than the science.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

How did social, cultural and political events in Britain during and leading up to the 1960s shape modern British fiction?The 1960s were the “swinging decade”: a newly energised youth culture went hand-in-hand with new technologies, expanding educational opportunities, new social attitudes and profound political differences between the generations. This volume explores the ways in which these apparently seismic changes were reflected in British fiction of the decade. Chapters cover feminist writing that fused the personal and the political, gay, lesbian and immigrant voices and the work of visionary experimental and science fiction writers.A major critical re-evaluation of the decade, this volume covers such writers as J.G. Ballard, Anthony Burgess, A.S. Byatt, Angela Carter, John Fowles, Christopher Isherwood, Doris Lessing, Michael Moorcock and V.S. Naipaul.
