Reinert Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: IX, 374 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-53996-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Science Science, general Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: Little is known of Antonio Serra except that he wrote his extraordinary 1613 Short Treatise on the Causes that Make Kingdoms Abound in Gold and Silver even in the Absence of Mines in a Neapolitan jail, and that he died there soon afterwards. However the contribution this work made represents a watershed not only in the discipline of economics but in the history of social science and intellectual history more generally. In this book some of the world's leading economists and experts on Serra explore the enduring appeal of Breve trattato. The authors analyse the work in its historical, economic, cultural and intellectual contexts, exploring the finer details of his theory regarding international financial interactions and his indebtedness to Renaissance legal traditions. The book also uncovers new material relating to Serra's life and provides in-depth interpretation of his key insights, influences and political economy. This book highlights the parallels between issues discussed by Serra and modern political and scholarly consciousness, and illustrates the importance and influences of historical debate in modern economic thinking En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9781137539960 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42020 Antonio Serra and the Economics of Good Government [documento electrónico] / Rosario Patalano ; SpringerLink (Online service) ; Sophus A.

Título : British Imperialism and the Making of Colonial Currency Systems Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Wadan Narsey ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: XV, 356 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-55318-8 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Finance--History Africa History Asia Great Britain Imperialism Financial African Asian of and Ireland Colonialism Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: Based on archival research covering more than two centuries and most former British colonies (West Indies, India, Singapore, Malaya, West Africa and East Africa), this book is a revisionist history of the British imperial manipulations of colonial currency systems to facilitate the rise of sterling to world supremacy via the gold standard, and to slow its eventual decline after World War II. Britain forcibly replaced international currencies, including gold and sterling itself, by new localised silver currencies, backed by gold and sterling reserves in London, under the total control of the British Treasury and the powerful influence of the Bank of England. Ignoring colonial needs, imperial decision-makers continuously over-ruled colonial governments, commercial interest in colonies (British and local), Colonial Office and the Crown Agents, to support liquidity in the London Money Market, convertibility of sterling, export of British capital, and cheap readily available finance for the British Government. Academia, including Keynes and institutions like the London School of Economics, are shown to have played supporting roles. This book is valuable reading for academics and students interested in theories of imperialism, colonial underdevelopment, money (national and international) and related topics such as currency areas and exchange rates. Its comprehensive index links monetary concepts to actual events in the British Empire, with pointers to new research areas. This account of the rise and fall of sterling as a world currency may have lessons for the future trajectories of the US dollar, Euro, Chinese renminbi and the Indian rupee En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9781137553188 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42035 British Imperialism and the Making of Colonial Currency Systems [documento electrónico] / Wadan Narsey ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - London : Palgrave Macmillan UK : Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016 . - XV, 356 p : online resource. - (Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance) .

Título : Credit and Trade in Later Medieval England, 1353-1532 Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Richard Goddard ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: XV, 277 p. 8 illus., 2 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-48987-6 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Trade Business Commerce Finance--History Accounting Great Britain History Europe History-476-1492 Social history Financial of Medieval and Ireland Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: This book challenges the notion that economic crises are modern phenomena through its exploration of the tumultuous 'credit-crunch' of the later Middle Ages. It illustrates clearly how influences such as the Black Death, inter-European warfare, climate change and a bullion famine occasioned severe and prolonged economic decline across fifteenth century England. Early chapters discuss trends in lending and borrowing, and the use of credit to fund domestic trade through detailed analysis of the Statute Staple and rich primary sources. The author then adopts a broad-based geographic lens to examine provincial credit before focusing on London's development as the commercial powerhouse in late medieval business. Academics and students of modern economic change and historic financial revolutions alike will see that the years from 1353 to 1532 encompassed immense upheaval and change, reminiscent of modern recessions. The author carefully guides the reader to see that these shifts are the precursors of economic change in the early modern period, laying the foundations for the financial world as we know it today Nota de contenido: Chapter 1) The Statute Staple and Trade Finance in Later Medieval England -- Chapter 2) Merchants and Trade -- Chapter 3) Boom and Bust: Patterns of Borrowing in Later Medieval England -- Chapter 4) The Geography of Recession: Provincial Credit in Later Medieval England -- Chapter 5) London: The Commercial Powerhouse -- Chapter 6) Conclusions En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-48987-6 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=41979 Credit and Trade in Later Medieval England, 1353-1532 [documento electrónico] / Richard Goddard ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - London : Palgrave Macmillan UK : Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016 . - XV, 277 p. 8 illus., 2 illus. in color : online resource. - (Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance) .

Título : Money and Finance in Central Europe during the Later Middle Ages Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Roman Zaoral ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: XVIII, 269 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-46023-3 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Finance--History Macroeconomics Economic history Social sciences Financial History Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics Sciences, general Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: The wealth of the Central European archives, particularly in urban records, has not been fully realised by Western European historians. However, the records are not always straightforward to use and many studies tackle the methodological problems inherent in gathering and analysing medieval sources. This book presents an original review of past and present research of national historiographies on medieval financial history from Central Europe. Covering material ranging from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, it explores the eastern regions of the Holy Roman Empire, including Bohemia, Silesia, Austria and Germany, and extending to Poland and Hungary. The authors firstly discuss the monetary policy of the Holy Roman emperors during the Middle Ages, before moving on to wider aspects of state finance, including credit mechanisms used by rulers. The book then investigates civic records and what they reveal about urban life and trade. It lastly investigates the financial activities of the church, from papacy to the cathedral chapters in Prague. Using numismatic and documentary evidence, Money and Finance in Central Europe during the Later Middle Ages provides an invaluable point of comparison with the financial conditions in Western Europe during the Middle Ages En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/9781137460233 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=41958 Money and Finance in Central Europe during the Later Middle Ages [documento electrónico] / Roman Zaoral ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - London : Palgrave Macmillan UK : Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016 . - XVIII, 269 p : online resource. - (Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance) .

Título : Mutual Insurance 1550-2015 : From Guild Welfare and Friendly Societies to Contemporary Micro-Insurers Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Marco H. D. van Leeuwen ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Colección: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance Número de páginas: XIII, 321 p. 3 illus Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-53110-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Finance Insurance Finance--History Social history Welfare economics structure inequality Financial History Personal Finance/Wealth Management/Pension Planning Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice Structure, Inequality Clasificación: 330 Economía en general Resumen: In the modern Western world, we tend to be insured by the state or for-profit insurers. We have privileged this system over mutual or micro-insurance, whose long and rich history we tend to forget. Yet, mutual and micro-insurance is becoming increasingly important, both in the Western and in the non-Western world and bears re-examination. This book traces the track record of mutual insurance from 1550 to the present, examining provisions for burial, sickness, unemployment, old age, and widowhood. The author seeks to address such topics as the type of risks micro-insurance covered between 1550 and 2015; how it was organized throughout its history; who provided the coverage; and how contributions, benefit levels, and conditions have changed. Importantly, the author explores why this system has worked through, and endured, the test of time. Mutual insurance can, for instance, overcome classic insurance problems such as adverse selection and moral hazards. The author demonstrates that the study of the position micro-insurance historically assumed in mixed economies of welfare presents interesting lessons for today's insurance market, as well as for today's mutualism Nota de contenido: Chapter 1) Mutual Insurance -- Chapter 2) The Era of the Guilds: Mutual Insurance 1550-1800 -- Chapter 3) The Age of the Friendly Societies:Mutual Insurance in the Nineteenth Century -- Chapter 4) The Rise and Decline of Modern Trade Union Insurance, 1900-65 -- Chapter 5) New Initiatives, 1965-2015 -- Chapter 6) Principles and Practices of Mutual Insurance, 1550-2015 En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-53110-0 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=42008 Mutual Insurance 1550-2015 : From Guild Welfare and Friendly Societies to Contemporary Micro-Insurers [documento electrónico] / Marco H.
