How apprenticeship shaped the English economy Apprenticeship dominated training and skill formation in early modern Europe. Years spent learning from a skilled master were a nearly universal experience for young workers in crafts and trade. In England, when apprenticeship reached its peak, as many as a third of all teenage males would serve and learn as apprentices. In The Market for Skill, Patrick Wallis shows how apprenticeship helped reshape the English economy. Some historians see apprenticeship as a key ingredient in the industrial revolution; others agree with Adam Smith in seeing it as wasteful and conservative. Wallis shows that neither of these perspectives is entirely accurate. He offers a new account of apprenticeship and the market for skill in England, analyzing the records of hundreds of thousands of individual apprentices to tell the story of how apprenticeship worked and how it contributed to the transformation of England. Wallis details the activities of apprentices and masters, the strategies of ambitious parents, the interventions of guilds and the decisions of town officials. He shows how the system of early modern apprenticeship contributed to the growth of cities, the movement of workers from farms to manufacturing and the spread of new technologies and productive knowledge. In this groundbreaking study, Wallis argues that apprenticeship succeeded precisely because it was a flexible institution which allowed apprentices to change their minds and exit contracts early. Apprenticeship provided a vital channel for training that families could trust and that was accessible to most young people, whatever their background.

Apprenticeship and Economic Growth in Early Modern England

The Market for Skill

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;
 is Professor of Economics for the College of Arts &amp; Sciences at the University of Texas, Permian Basin. He has been a Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley for over 20 years.

This classic textbook provides a thorough overview of European private international law. It is essential reading for students and practitioners of private international law and transnational litigation, wherever they may be located: the European rules extend beyond European shores. Opening with foundational questions, the book clearly explains the subject's central tenets: the Brussels I, Rome I and Rome II Regulations (jurisdiction, applicable law for contracts and tort). Additional chapters explore private international law and insolvency, freedom of establishment, and the impact of private international law on corporate social responsibility. The relevant Hague instruments, and the impact of Brexit, are fully integrated in the various chapters. Drawing on the author's rich experience, the new edition retains the book's hallmarks of insight and clarity of expression, ensuring it maintains its position as the leading textbook in the field.

Why Britain's energy path gave rise to an ideology of endless growth Despite the warnings of climate scientists, the world remains dangerously addicted to fossil fuel. Why has it been so difficult to break this habit? In a major new account, Fredrik Albritton Jonsson suggests that the planetary emergency has profound historical roots reaching back to the making of the first fossil fuel economy in eighteenth century Britain. Rather than look for a single dramatic rupture centered on the steam powered factory system, in Infinite Coal Albritton Jonsson shows that there was a much more gradual and multidimensional development of the first coal economy, stretching from the deep mine and ironworks to the household and the global food system. Albritton Jonsson explores not only the material forces behind the British energy path but also how ideas about fossil fuel energy reoriented politics and society towards a new ideal of growth. At the same time an environmental and political history of Britain’s energy transformation, Infinite Coal explains why and how coal became so deeply embedded in our way of life. Albritton Jonsson argues that the most important legacy of Britain’s early fossil fuel economy is fossil cornucopianism—the idea of a bountiful, never-ending energy source—which still haunts modern politics and economics.

How Britain Became the First Fossil Fuel Economy

Infinite Coal

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Prediction Markets and the Future of Democracy

The Big Bet

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Winners and Losers in the Low Growth Era

The Age of Plunder

Die deutsche Immobilienwirtschaft ist mit etwa 700.000 Unternehmen, fast vier Millionen Erwerbstätigen, einem etwa zwanzigprozentigen Anteil der gesamten Bruttowertschöpfung sowie etwa 60 Prozent (ca. neun Billionen Euro) an Werten der Vermögensbilanz der deutschen Volkswirtschaft eine der größten und wichtigsten Industrien des Landes. Doch trotz dieser immensen Bedeutung verkauft sich die Immobilienwirtschaft aufgrund ihres Schnittstellencharakters und ihrer Atomisierung oft unter Wert. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist die Idee entstanden, das wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Befassen mit der Immobilienwirtschaft als ein spannendes Unterfangen mit den relevanten Bereichen Management, Ökonomie und Recht umfassend aufzuarbeiten. In der Immobilienwirtschaftslehre stellt die Betriebswirtschaftslehre die Leitdisziplin dar, interdisziplinär eingefasst von der Volkswirtschaftslehre und der Rechtswissenschaft.Der vorliegend Band fokussiert auf das Management und gliedert sich in die Teile Immobilienwirtschaftliche Grundlagen, Führung als klassischer betriebswirtschaftlicher Teil, Lebenszyklus, der die Immobilie von Errichtung bis Betrieb in den Kontext von Raum, Stadt und Umwelt setzt, Strategie im Rahmen des Managements von Immobilien auf verschiedenen Ebenen und aus verschiedenen Perspektiven sowie Transaktion, der auf den Veräußerungsprozess mit den Schwerpunkten der Immobilienbewertung, -investition und -finanzierung abzielt.
