Beschreibungen/Notizen
This is the first comprehensive study of loans and debts in
Central European countries in the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period. It outlines
the issues of debts and loans in the Czech lands, Poland and Hungary, with respect
to the influence of Austria and Germany. It focuses on the role of loans and debts
in medieval and early modern society, credit markets in these countries, the
mechanism of lending and borrowing, forms of credit, availability of loans,
frequency of credits dealings, range of lending business, and last, but not least,
the financial relationships inside the social classes and between them.
The research presented in the book is based on a wide range of resources including
credit contracts and agreements, evidence of loans and debts of courts, accounting
of nobility, towns, churches and guilds, merchant diaries and Jewish registers, as
well as other financial records. It covers a wide range of historical disciplines
including economic and financial history, social history, the history of economic
thought as well as the history of everyday life. It also contains a wealth of case
studies, which offer, for the first time in English, a comprehensive and
representative sample of the most up-to-date Central European research on the
history of loans and debts and serves as a basis for a comparison with the other
parts of Europe during the same period.
The book is designed primarily for postgraduates, researchers and academics in
financial, economic and historical sciences but will also be a valuable resource for
students of business schools.
