Taming Capitalism Before Its Triumph: Public Service, Distrust, and 'Projecting' in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9780198739173 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines the darker side of England's culture of economic improvement between 1640 and 1720. It is often suggested that England in this period grew strikingly confident of its prospect for unlimited growth. Indeed, merchants, inventors, and others promised to achieve immense profit and abundance. Such flowery promises were then, as now, prone to perversion, however. This volume is concerned with the taming of incipient capitalism - how a society in the past responded when promises of wealth creation went badly wrong.
The notion of 'projecting' played a key role in this process.... This study examines the darker side of England's culture of economic improvement between 1640 and 1720. It is often suggested that England in this per...
