Early Modern Kyivan Christianities

Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

This volume explores the economic and financial contexts behind a period of large-scale bankruptcies in Europe across the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. With a particular focus on Spanish and Italian case studies, contributions analyse numerous aspects of failure and insolvency during this time.Despite growing contemporary interest in economic crises—particularly in the aftermath of 2008—the history of bankruptcy practices and the responsibilities of financial actors within the context of early globalisation remains largely underexplored. This volume responds to that need, offering a detailed, archivally grounded and theoretically robust investigation into parallels that exist in early modern Europe. Drawing out comparative analyses between modern and early modern financial crises, the book illuminates how early modern states developed systems of guarantees in tandem with the growth of mercantile capitalism, and covers questions including public debt management, financial transparency, the accountability of economic actors, and the relationship between political and economic power. This book will be a fascinating read for scholars of early modern financial and economic history.Giuseppe De Luca
 is Professor of Economic History at the University of Milan and holds a PhD in Economic and Social History from the Bocconi University. He is Honorary Professor at The Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, University College London, and Associate to the National Research Council of Italy, Institute of History of Mediterranean Europe (ISEM). He is also currently a temporary lecturer in Economics on the Strategic Management MsC at LUISS, Rome.

Mercatus Studies in Political and Social Economy

“In Disrupting Order, authors Nona and Virgil Storr provide a compelling reassessment of the significance of the Burma Road Riot.… Beyond a solid theoretical intervention, the authors are to be commended for the depth of archival and ethnographic research that makes this study an excellent contribution to Bahamian social-political history and larger studies on public disturbances.”—Christopher Curry, author of&nbsp;Freedom and Resistance
"This book provides a fascinating account of the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas.”—Matthew Moran, author of&nbsp;The Republic and the Riots
“It does not glorify unrest but provides a thoughtful framework to understand why such moments arise and how they shape the trajectory of a people.”—J. Kwasi Thompson, Member of Parliament for East Grand Bahama and Former Minister of State for Grand Bahama and Finance
Are riots more than just breakdowns of order? Are rioters just violently and chaotically disrupting the status quo or are they individuals acting together in a surprisingly orderly manner? In Disrupting Order,&nbsp;Nona Martin Storr and Virgil Henry Storr argue that riots are rule-governed, self-generating, emergent phenomena. Viewing riots as what they call “tensive emergent orders” offers a grammar for discussing riots that foregrounds the motivations and actions of individual rioters, the tacit rules that rioters follow, and the socio-political causes and consequences of riots. Applying this grammar to the 1942 riot that occurred in the Bahamas, Storr and Storr demonstrate how the 1942 riot was not just a momentary outburst but a watershed event in the country’s history, ushering in far-reaching socio-political changes. As we move into an era of frequent extreme protests,&nbsp;Disrupting Order&nbsp;urges us to rethink why the threatened and marginalized sometimes speak through riots and gives us a framework to assess the impact of their speaking in this way.
Nona Martin Storr&nbsp;is Senior Affiliated Scholar at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Her writings on riots have appeared in the Journal of Caribbean History,&nbsp;Island Studies Journal, and&nbsp;Space and Culture.
Virgil Henry Storr is Don C. Lavoie Senior Fellow in the Mercatus Center's F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and Professor of Economics at George Mason University. Storr’s previous books with Palgrave Macmillan include&nbsp;Do Markets Corrupt Our Morals?&nbsp;and&nbsp;Community Revival in the Wake of Disaster.

Disrupting Order

Weltweit gilt die italienische Küche als Inbegriff von Genuss und kulinarischer Perfektion. Und nichts ist in Italien so heilig wie die prodotti tipici, die regionalen Spezialitäten.Kaum ein anderes Buch erhitzte die italienischen Gemüter daher so sehr wie die Erkenntnisse des in Parma lehrenden Wirtschaftshistorikers Alberto Grandi: Die heute viel gehypte Authentizität italienischer Produkte sei vor allem auf geschickte Marketingstrategien der Lebensmittelindustrie in den 1970er-Jahren zurückzuführen.Das nationale Selbstverständnis seines Landes brachte Alberto Grandi damit gewaltig ins Wanken.

Die materiellen Lebenslagen der Ostdeutschen standen vor wie nach dem Umbruch von 1989/90 im Blick der Politik - und im Bewusstsein der Menschen selbst. Christopher Banditt rekonstruiert erstmals systematisch Einkommen, Geldvermögen und Konsum-möglichkeiten in ostdeutschen Arbeitnehmerhaushalten für die 1980er- und 1990er-Jahre. Er zeigt, dass trotz des sozialistischen Egalitätsanspruchs soziale Ungleichheiten bereits in der DDR deutlich ausgeprägt waren. Mit der marktwirtschaftlichen Neubestimmung des Leistungsprinzips wurden Disparitäten nach 1989/90 teils neu geformt, teils fortgeschrieben. Damit zeichnet das Buch eine systemübergreifende Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte materieller Lebenslagen und sozialer Ungleichheit in Ostdeutschland.

Die übersehenen Frauen ? wer sie waren, was sie leisteten 
 
 Trümmerfrau, Kriegerwitwe, Fortschrittsbremse. Entsagungsvolle Hausfrau, unverbesserliche Altnazi oder fromme Kirchenschwalbe ? an Klischees über alte Frauen mangelt es nicht. Doch was wissen wir wirklich über ihr Leben, ihre Perspektiven, ihre Rolle in der Geschichte? Die Historikerin Christina von Hodenberg rückt die lange übersehenen Frauen ins Zentrum: jene, die zwischen 1890 und 1950 geboren wurden ? unsere Großmütter, Mütter und Tanten ? und als ältere Frauen in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung nicht vorkommen. 
 
 Wie gestalteten sie ihr Leben in Beruf, Ehe und Familie? Welche Vorstellungen hatten sie von Sexualität und Partnerschaft, Feminismus und Demokratie? Wie veränderte sich ihr Denken im Lauf der Jahrzehnte? Und was können wir heute von ihnen über das Altern lernen? Auf Grundlage zahlreicher biographischer Zeugnisse und bislang wenig beachteter Quellen zeigt dieses Buch, wie sehr diese Generationen das Nachkriegsdeutschland, den Kalten Krieg und die Wiedervereinigung geprägt haben. In Ost und West, zwischen Anpassung und Protest, zwischen Pflicht und eigenem Willen. Ein längst überfälliges Buch, das mit gängigen Mythen aufräumt ? und Frauen jenseits der sechzig endlich den Platz in der Geschichte gibt, der ihnen zusteht.

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This book offers the first comprehensive, in-depth analysis of gender discrimination and female infanticide in Greece during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. While focusing on a single case study, it offers insights into broader patterns of gender discrimination across Europe, particularly in countries shaped by social upheaval, economic instability, and deeply entrenched patriarchal structures. The book combines extensive quantitative analysis of population records, census data, and economic indicators such as dowries with innovative qualitative research.Unlike similar studies in other regions, this book employs a multidisciplinary approach. Integrating mixed methods and sources, including census data, contemporary literature, oral histories, and folklore, it provides a nuanced understanding of local variations, mentalities, and socio-economic factors influencing discriminatory practices. The book challenges the conventional narrative that Europe did not experience high levels of gender discrimination in childhood during this period. Drawing on sources ranging from foundling hospital records to folkloric texts, it uncovers the major social and economic dimensions of this phenomenon in Greece. It also pays particular attention to skewed sex ratios and women’s labour and economic opportunities, examining how these intersected with regional family systems and gender inequalities, while opening avenues for future research into their longer-term social and economic implications.This will be an important read for scholars in economic history, population economics, gender history, historical demography, and ethnography.Eftychia Kalaitzidou is a researcher at the Department of Historical Sciences at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her PhD research, conducted within the project "Missing Girls in Historical Europe", examined gender discrimination, excess female mortality, and girls’ experiences in Greece during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. She is currently a researcher in the project "All the Names", which investigates historical naming practices and their relationship to family, identity, migration, and social change. Her broader research interests include gender and family history, historical demography, childhood, naming and identity, migration, war and political violence, and gendered experiences of conflict, with particular emphasis on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches.

Four hundred years ago, Hugo Grotius's work 
 De iure belli ac pacis libri tres
 presented a description of the mutual legal relationship of peoples and states, which is rightly regarded as a milestone in the history of international law. The question of a just war and all subsequent questions are the starting point for this draft of a comprehensive legal system that claims validity without being based on legislation. For centuries, this work by Grotius was a key reference text at universities. This is the first time that a Latin-German edition of Grotius's major work has been published. The extensive sources used by Grotius are documented in a detailed appendix.
 Volume II will probably be published in 2028, volume III in 2029.

This edited volume presents new research on the expansion and internationalisation of Italian banking during the first century after unification. It argues that, unlike the profit-driven overseas expansion of banks in other major European powers, Italy’s international banking strategy was closely linked to state-backed political and diplomatic ambitions.Bringing together leading scholars of Italian banking history, the volume examines how Italian banks pursued foreign markets despite operating in a capital-scarce economy. It explores strategies such as interbank cooperation, remittance management, foreign investment, and foreign exchange operations, while highlighting the roles of Catholic finance and the Bank of Italy. The contributors also reveal how financial expansion intersected with Italy’s imperial ambitions, both in its colonies and beyond. Offering fresh perspectives on the relationship between finance, state power, and international expansion, the volume will appeal to historians of banking, finance, and modern economic history.Giampaolo Conte&nbsp;

PULS, an initiative of Bukarest's National Museum for Contemporary Art (MNAC) began during the COVID-crisis. Since then, the museum supports Romanian artists by biennially purchasing more than 100 relevant creative works, carefully selected from a large pool of submissions by a democratic jury of artists and art professionals. PULS22 showcases in book-form MNAC's most recent acquisitions and their subsequent exhibition. This volume, like the former PULS20, is an exciting panoramic snapshot of the country's dynamic multigenerational art scene. The installation shots speak of an outstanding exhibition and the potential for future loans to curated shows elsewhere.
