An Infinite History

The Story of a Family in France over Three Centuries

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the Brazilian coffee economy since 1960, one of the most significant yet understudied developments in modern economic history. Moving beyond classic accounts of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century plantation expansion, it traces how Brazil responded to crises through state intervention, technological innovation and institutional reform. Drawing on economic history, development economics and agricultural studies, the authors examine how mechanization, scientific research, crop diversification and shifting regional production patterns reshaped the sector and enabled Brazil to maintain its position as the world’s leading coffee producer.Situating Brazilian coffee within global commodity chains and changing patterns of consumption, the book explores the transition from a state-controlled system to a competitive, market-oriented agribusiness embedded in global trade networks. It also highlights the emergence of new production frontiers and value-added industries, including roasting and soluble coffee. By combining regional analysis with a broader political economy perspective, this study provides a vital contribution to debates on agricultural modernization, export-led development and globalization in Latin America. It will be valuable reading for scholars in economic history, Latin American studies, agricultural economics and global development.&nbsp;Herbert S. Klein

Small State Constitutionalism

A revelatory financial history showing that today's massive Islamic finance industry was preceded by decades of Muslim interest banking across Eurasia and Africa. Since the 1970s, the now multi-trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry has offered interest-free banking to Muslims around the world. Its proponents maintain that Islamic law strictly forbids all forms of financial interest. Many academic accounts echo this perspective, assuming that before the 1970s, Muslims either avoided interest banking out of deep-seated religious hostility or practiced it in defiance of religious stricture. Yet as Michael O'Sullivan argues, these narratives overlook rich traditions of Muslim interest banking that preceded Islamic finance. In the early twentieth century, the first modern Muslim-owned interest banks appeared across Eurasia and Africa-from India to the Ottoman Empire, Tsarist Russia, Habsburg Bosnia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran, Palestine, and Indonesia. Viewed as a solution to Muslim economic distress, these banks intensified debates among Muslims about both the Islamic legal tradition and acceptable economic practices. While interest banks raised suspicions among some Islamic legal scholars, others explicitly defended their legality and encouraged Muslim entrepreneurs. Ultimately, O'Sullivan shows that the Islamic finance industry's commitment to interest-free banking was a product of contingency as much as principle. It was a combination of bank failures, high rates of indebtedness, and changing religious interpretations that eventually led many Muslims to reject interest banking and demand a replacement more commensurate with an "Islamic economy." Even so, the religious debates inaugurated by the first Muslim interest banks persist to this day. A vibrant portrait of economic life in the so-called peripheries of capital, The Borrower's Refuge is a major contribution to the global history of finance.

Previously known as Drafting Agreements in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries, this title provides precedent agreements for the main types of commercial transaction encountered in the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. In addition to the print version, each precedent is available via an accompanying website in a format which can be easily downloaded and edited. Detailed commentary on legal, commercial and practice issues accompanies every precedent. Provided by specialist lawyers from across Europe, this commentary also highlights important differences between English law and that of other key EU jurisdictions: Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Commentary on specific considerations for the US is also provided. In addition to precedent commentaries, the book also contains detailed commentary and discussion of legal issues common to the life sciences, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, as well as links to relevant materials (eg regulatory materials on clinical trials). This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Intellectual Property and IT online service.

Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics

The history of money and banking has undergone three major transformations: from commodity money (e.g. currency backed by gold), to fiat money (e.g. currency not backed by a commodity), and now toward intangible money (e.g. digital forms without any backing). While the shift from commodity to fiat money was momentous, the transition to intangible money has profound implications for banking, monetary policy, and financial stability. Intangible Money, Banking, and Information provides a comprehensive overview of these transformations from the perspective of both the history of economic thought and monetary economics. It shows how advances in information and communication technology have accelerated the transition to intangible money, reshaping how transactions are recorded and how monetary systems function. At the same time, it argues that rapid financial innovation and deregulation have dramatically expanded the scale and complexity of banking and markets-often with destabilizing consequences.

Crypto crises examines how the cryptocurrency industry has become a powerful force in global capitalism. Far from the promise of decentralisation, it reveals how crypto is deepening social inequality, fuelling environmental destruction, and reshaping political power. Drawing on extensive research and vivid examples, the book traces the rise of a new class of "crypto-capitalists" - from billionaire investors and mining conglomerates to populist politicians - who are embedding digital assets at the heart of finance and governance. It exposes the hidden networks of influence linking crypto to Wall Street, Big Tech, and the Global South, where exploitation is reframed as innovation. Provocative and timely, the book offers a critical account of how cryptocurrency's dream of liberation became one of the defining engines of twenty-first-century capitalism.

A History of Modern Macroeconomics

In this book, Scott Alan Carson&nbsp;considers&nbsp;the relationship between economic development and net nutrition. Highlighting new health patterns found from a thorough analysis of more than 320,000 height observations across imprisoned individuals and the general public in the 19th- and 20th-century United States, the book highlights a new history of United States net nutrition, health, and urbanization.The book begins with historical observations regarding wealth, income, agricultural productivity, transportation revolution, and disease in urban landscapes. Chapters span the Barker hypothesis, nutritional variations by region, migratory patterns, and domestic residence. Analysing data related to height, race, gender, socioeconomic status, and disease, Carson reveals previously unexplored and undetected health variation. The book examines the historical health of the American populace during industrialization as it relates to broader economic change and public well-being.Exploring the human cost of urbanization, the book offers economists, anthropometric researchers, economic historians, and anthropologists a new way to conceptualize the relationship between historical health data and urbanization.Scott Alan Carson&nbsp;

“I really enjoyed reading this. Robert Ippaso covers inflation from Hammurabi to COVID-19 in an entertaining manner, illustrating the social impact—including the reactionary impacts—of inflation. The book provides a wealth of information about inflation. Eager readers: Be prepared to take the book page by page, section by section. This is a great book.”—Bryan Taylor, Chief Economist, Finaeon Inc. and author of 
 A Global History of Currencies
 &nbsp;
 Inflation, Its Victims, and Its Profiteers&nbsp; examines four millennia of monetary turbulence to show that inflation is neither modern nor mysterious—merely humanity's oldest recurring argument between what things cost and what people will accept.Tracing price instability from Mesopotamian grain edicts to twenty-first-century currency crises, the book identifies the patterns that connect ancient debasement, wartime finance, and contemporary policy failures. Economic incentives, political pressures, and the enduring irrationality of human behaviour collectively shape every inflationary episode — and history suggests today's are no more unprecedented than they feel.Seven sections move from conceptual foundations to forensic case studies: how industries from automotive manufacturing to oil have adapted; how criminal networks thrive in inflationary environments; how professions insulate themselves from monetary erosion; how central banking, dollarization, and digital currencies have each promised stability with mixed results. The centrepiece surveys inflation crises across civilisations — Mesopotamia to modern Latin America — before a closing chapter projects likely trajectories in developed economies over the next quarter-century.A book for anyone who suspects that rising prices deserve more than a newspaper column — and that the past has rather more to say about the present than policymakers prefer to admit.&nbsp;Robert Ippaso
 is an economist, economic historian, and international entrepreneur whose four decades of business experience across six continents inform his reading of inflation as a living force rather than an academic abstraction. He holds a PhD in Entrepreneurship and Innovation and a BA (Hons) in Economics and Economic History.
