Cambridge University Press The Rise of Merchant Empires
Book SynopsisEuropean dominance of the shipping lanes in the early modern period was a prelude to the great age of European imperial power, in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Yet in the present age of a new global interdependence we can see that the pre-imperial age was in fact more an age of partnership or an age of competition when Westerners and Asians vied on even terms. The essays in this volume examine on a global basis the many different trading empires from the end of the Middle Ages to the eighteenth century.Trade Review'It provides an excellent starting point for those who seek to understand the economic relationship between Europe and the rest of the world and adds considerably to our understanding of long-distance trade in the early modern period.'

Cambridge University Press Money in Classical Antiquity Key Themes in Ancient History
Book SynopsisThis book was the first to undertake a comprehensive analysis of the impact of money on the economy, society and culture of the Greek and Roman worlds. It uses new approaches in economic history to explore how money affected the economy in antiquity and demonstrates that the crucial factors in its increasing influence were state-formation, expanding political networks, metal supply and above all an increasing sophistication of credit and contractual law. Covering a wide range of monetary contexts within the Mediterranean over almost a thousand years (c.600 BCâAD 300), it demonstrates that money played different roles in different social and political circumstances. The book will prove an invaluable introduction to upper-level students of ancient money, while also offering perspectives for future research to the specialist.Trade Review'Sitta von Reden offers an admirable introduction to some of the main themes in current debates on the use of money in the Classical world. As such, [this volume] will serve as an instructive and clearly presented book to be used in courses dealing with ancient economic matters. The book chimes well with the recent trend among ancient economic historians to seek inspiration from the so-called new institutional economics. Indeed, it seems a both careful and nuanced contribution to this body of scholarship.' Peter Fibiger Bang, The Journal of Roman StudiesTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Monetization: issues; 2. Monetization: cases; 3. Monetary networks; 4. Cash and credit; 5. Prices and price formation: issues; 6. Prices and price formation: case study; 7. Sacred finance; Epilogue: monetary culture; Appendices; Glossary.

Cambridge University Press Insider Lending
Book SynopsisThis book, first published in 1994, explores the important role that insider lending played in the economic development of early nineteenth-century New England. Ironically, when banks began to lend more and more of their funds at arm's length, information problems forced them to restrict their activities to short-term commercial lending.Trade Review'This is an important book which explores the evolution of bank lending strategies during the industrialisation of New England.' Mary B. Rose, Business HistoryTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; 1. Vehicles for accumulating capital; 2. Insider lending and Jacksonian hostility towards banks; 3. Engines of economic development; 4. The decline of insider lending and the problem of determining creditworthiness; 5. Professionalization and specialization; 6. The merger movement in banking; Conclusion.
