Opis

Market Ethics and Practices 1300-1850 analyses the nature, development, and operation of market ethics in the context of social practices, ranging from rituals of exchange and unofficial expectations to law, institutions, and formal regulations, in the age of nascent capitalism. The chapters explore the late medieval and early modern conceptions of money and economic morality, and the role of international finance and colonial empires, in the history of market exchange. This book provides an understanding of the key pre-modern economic historiography, whilst pointing students towards new debates and the historical significance for our collective economic future.
