Wie eine Währung die Welt regiert

Late medieval Bruges was a commercial hub that connected Hanseatic, English, Scottish, Portuguese, Spanish, Aragonese, and Italian traders. This book focuses on the conflict resolution of the aldermen and how merchants operated within this legal framework. The key question being whether Bruges was a city of justice. Although this was sometimes claimed by travellers, a lot of merchants confronted with the practicalities of conflict resolution in Bruges, disagreed. Fieremans analyses how customary law, institutional frameworks, and commerce intersected and were challenged by the aldermen's pursuit of justice. By clarifying the working of the aldermen, it advances our knowledge of the basic mechanisms of a late medieval law court and the evolution of the law courts of late medieval Flanders. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the book focuses on the interplay between commerce and justice, explores the diverse merchant communities, and considers the potential lessons it offers for understanding both historical and modern markets. It sheds light on the pragmatic legal culture of Bruges and the legal mechanisms that partially regulate commerce.

Foreign Merchants in a City of Justice

Law, Leverage, and Litigation in Late Medieval Bruges

Palgrave Studies in African and Development Economics

This book examines the rapid rise of ancient Rome and Qin to inform 21st century industrial development. It utilizes the concept of latecomer introduced in the 1950s by the political economist Alexander Gerschenkron, who used latecomer theory to explore the patterns of industrial development, with latecomers like Germany catching up with early movers like Great Britain. By extending this concept to the ancient world, the ways that Rome and Qin utilized militarization and political institutions to create advanced social and political systems are examined. It shows how this enabled them to catch up with and surpass the extant states of their time – in the case of Qin the other warring states in China, and in the case of Rome the extant states of the Mediterranean such as Greeks, Phoenicians/Carthaginians, and Etruscans.The eventual fall of Rome in the 5th century CE is contrasted with the experience of the state of Qin, which created a state model that endured for centuries, to show the benefits and limitations of different forms of rule and state systems. The Roman emphasis on monopoly power is seen to have limited broader Western development for centuries. This book takes the successes and failures of ancient civilizations and applies the lessons learned using the latecomer concept to the economic development challenges seen today.John A. Mathews

Argentine Freedom
 is the first account of the most disruptive figure in Argentine history since the nation’s return to democracy. In just a few years, Javier Milei rose from television economist and social media provocateur to president of a country long defined by crisis, state intervention, and political polarization. His ascent has sparked fierce debate at home and abroad: Is Milei a threat to democracy, a neo-conservative, or the herald of a much larger revival of the classical liberal tradition?
 
 The book provides a balanced examination of Milei’s rise to power. Rather than judging his policies, economic historian Sebastián Álvarez and political philosopher Ezequiel Spector ask a deeper set of questions: Where do Milei’s ideas come from? How do they relate to Argentina’s liberal tradition and its history of populism, socialism, and authoritarianism? And what does his presidency reveal about the tensions between liberty, equality, and democracy in the twenty-first century?&nbsp;
 
 Blending economic history, political philosophy, and contemporary analysis,&nbsp;
 Argentine Freedom
 traces Argentina’s long ideological arc from the liberal foundations of the 1853 Constitution, through Peronism, military rule, neoliberal reform, and the interventionist turn after the 2001 collapse, to the two liberal “waves” that culminated in Milei’s election. Along the way, it unpacks the meanings of liberalism and libertarianism, contrasts them with their main rivals, and situates Milei within both national history and a broader global surge of anti-establishment leaders.
 
 The resulting book offers a new way to understand Javier Milei as a political actor—and Argentina as a country once again at a crossroads.

Ethnic and Indigenous Business Studies

How could 
 Homo sapiens
 survive for so long when all other 
 Homo
 went extinct? This multidisciplinary book provides a detailed synthesis of published knowledge by archaeologists and other scientists on the production, trade and daily activities of ancient peoples. It locates populations within the changing environment of the planet (glaciations and deglaciations, wet and dry climates, physical, economic, and social periods over the long spans of the Pleistocene and Holocene). Research for this work was sourced from various fields, including archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, geology, zoology, and paleontology. Emerging disciplines such as genomics, paleobiology, paleomedicine and zoopharmacognosy contribute new insights into the living conditions and challenges that confronted our ancestors.
 The first part of the book focuses mainly on Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, particularly North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico), although some sources and examples are drawn from other regions of the world. Through case studies based on scholarly records, ancient networks covering distances of thousands of kilometers in Africa, North America and Eurasia are described. The second part addresses ancient modes of survival, communication, storytelling, and migration of Indigenous populations in their traditional natural environments, from the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras to the present. Diet, horticulture, and modes of land, river, and sea transport are detailed, in the context of migration routes from Africa to Eurasia and in the Pacific and the Americas. The third part deals with the past seven and the next seven generations. It provides a description of recent and present-day Indigenous peoples and communities and their interactions with governments and industries. Case studies illustrate issues about the legitimacy of foreign or domestic companies operating on Indigenous territories, both in North America and some other continents. The traditional mindset of certain Indigenous populations in North America is described. The book concludes with an examination of how business legitimacy may be established and the types of engagement approaches recommended by Indigenous communities’ leaders.

Warum Gold seit der Antike unser Geld, unsere Politik und unsere Gier bestimmt

Die erstaunliche Geschichte des Goldes

Neue Kleine Bibliothek

Der globale Kapitalismus befindet sich in der Dauerkrise. Globale Finanzkrise, Eurokrise, 'Flüchtlingskrise', Corona­krise, Krise im Ergebnis der neuen Kriege von der Ukraine bis Nahost: Kaum scheint ein Krisenherd unter Kontrolle, schlägt die Dauerkrise aus einer unerwarteten Richtung zurück. Durch die Krisen verändert sich jedoch, wie schon immer in der Geschichte, auch der Kapitalismus selbst: Neoliberale Weltordnung und unangefochtene US-Hegemonie waren einmal. In den Konflikten um Aufstieg und Abstieg von Großmächten wird der Kapitalismus postliberal: Ent­demokratisierung, Autoritarismus, (Wirtschafts-)Nationalismus, Militarismus, Imperialismus und (Wirtschafts-)Krieg sind die neue Normalität. Am Horizont zeichnen sich die Konturen eines neuen Kalten Kriegs mit Aussicht auf heiße Stellvertreterkriege und Eskalation ab. Aber können die großen Menschheitsfragen wie Frieden, Sicherheit, soziale Ungleichheit, sozialer Zusammenhalt, Demokratie, Nachhaltigkeit, Klimaschutz und Artensterben warten? Ingar Solty zeigt Ursachen und Hintergründe der Krise auf - und Alternativen für eine bessere Zukunft für alle.

Einführung

Volkswirtschaftslehre

Economics is vital, but its labyrinth of equations can make it feel disconnected from the real world. Enter a powerful tool: the metaphor.From longtime economics journalist Peter Coy comes an approachable and fun guide to the metaphors that unlock its power. With nearly 500 alphabetized entries, complemented by playful illustrations, Economics Without Numbers demystifies concepts, exploring their origins, the truths they express, and where they fall short. The result is a delightful and original primer on economic ideas and history that's perfect for students and anyone who wants to understand what makes the world go 'round.Coy has spent decades collecting these vivid metaphors. From "trickle-down economics" (the idea that making the rich richer will help the poor) to "inductivist turkey" (a parable about the perils of assuming that a trend will persist without knowing its cause), Coy brings economics to life.

Economics without Numbers

Arbeitskammern als öffentlich-rechtliche Interessenvertretung, die auf einer obligatorischen Mitgliedschaft alle Beschäftigten beruhen, sind in Europa zumeist Ausnahmeerscheinungen geblieben. Historisch entstanden in den frühen 1920er Jahren existieren sie bis heute lediglich in Luxemburg und Österreich und darüber hinaus in den beiden deutschen Bundesländern Bremen und dem Saarland. Angesichts einer zunehmenden Erosion der traditionellen Systeme der Arbeitsbeziehungen, die sich aus abnehmenden Mitgliederzahlen der Gewerkschaften, einer rückläufigen Verbreitung von Betriebsräten und einer abnehmenden Tarifbindung ergeben, diskutiert man in Deutschland heute in mehreren Bundesländern über die Einführung neuer Arbeitskammern. Diese könnten einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die Strukturen und Ressourcen der Arbeitsnehmervertretung zu stärken und bestehende Vertretungslücken zu schließen. Martin Behrens und Thorsten Schulten nehmen in diesem Buch erstmals eine umfassende Bestandaufnahme der Funktion, Arbeitsweise und Wirkung von Arbeitskammern vor und skizzieren ihre Entwicklungsperspektiven in Deutschland. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
