This volume examines fifty diverse artifacts, including tally sticks, tools, glassware, and coins, to provide a human-centered understanding of the commercial revolution, agricultural innovations, and the emergence of a consumer society between 500 and 1600. The content is organized into five parts, focusing on economic thought, production, distribution, finance, and everyday life. Empowering students to integrate material culture as a crucial primary source, the book reveals the evolving mentalities and innovative practices that shaped medieval economic behaviour and laid the foundations of our modern world.Encounters: Medieval Economy in 50 Objects is written for a broad audience, including undergraduate and postgraduate students in history, archaeology, and art history who are seeking a tangible, source-based approach to medieval economy. It is an essential resource for instructors looking for a modular, object-oriented teaching tool that connects material culture with economic theory, providing a refreshing alternative to traditional text-heavy histories. Museum professionals, heritage specialists, and history enthusiasts will also find its accessible narrative and focus on "object biographies" invaluable for contextualizing collections and understanding how everyday items drove the transition to a modern consumer society.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar

This edited collection demonstrates how economic history can be analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methods, connecting statistical research with the social, cultural and psychological aspects of history. With their focus on the time between the end of the commercial revolution and the Black Death (c. 1300), and the Thirty Years’ War (c. 1600), Kypta et al. redress a significant lack of published work regarding economic history methodology in the premodern period.Case studies stem from the Holy Roman Empire, one of the most important economic regions in premodern times, and reconnect the German premodern economic history approach with the grand narratives that have been developed mainly for Western European regions. Methodological approaches stemming from economics as well as from sociology and cultural studies show how multifaceted research in economic history can be, and how it might accordingly offer us new insights into premodern economies.Chapters 9 and 10 are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

Markets feature prominently in recent research of premodern historians as well as economists. Discussions cover the questions, for example, how a market can be grasp as a place, an event or a mechanism of exchange, or whether premodern economies have just hosted markets or if some of them can even be regarded as market economies.

The proposed volume will now turn to the agents who forged and connected markets. Exchange was done between persons and with the help of persons: Artisans, retailers and poor people tried to better their living conditions by engaging on the market, merchants interconnected different markets, urban personnel (such as brokers, men working at the public scales, or the town council as a whole) regulated and facilitated exchange.

By focusing on economic practices and the agents who performed them, the volume aims at analyzing the specific characteristics of premodern markets, the reasons why people became active on the market and the institutions which formed exchange processes and were in turn shaped by them.

Mikrokredite sind keine Erfindung der Moderne. Sie gehorten bereits im Mittelalter zu den Instrumenten der erfolgreichen Armutsbekampfung. Die Kreditwirtschaft basierte damals auf einer christlichen Wirtschaftsethik, vor allem auf den Ideen Nachstenliebe und Gemeinwohl. Inspiriert durch diese Ethik wurden im Italien des 15. Jahrhundert hunderte stadtische Pfandleihhauser gegrundet. Diese "e;Berge der Barmherzigkeit"e; (Monti di Pieta) genannten Institute vergaben gunstige Kleinkredite an Handwerker, Tagelohner und kleine Handler und boten zudem Geldanlagen und Bankenservices an. Tanja Skambraks untersucht die Geschichte dieser Pfandleihanstalten und ihre wirtschaftsethischen Grundlagen im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert. Sie nutzt eine Vielfalt lateinischer und italienischer Quellen wie Traktate und juristische Gutachten, aber auch zahlreiche administrative Schriften wie Rechnungsbucher und Statuten. Hinzu kommen Ausblicke in den deutschsprachigen Raum. Die Studie deckt die lange Dauer von Kleinkrediten fur arbeitende Arme auf und befasst sich mit der Idee einer moralischen Okonomie mit hoher Relevanz fur die Gegenwart.
