Peasants, Wars and Evil Coins
Is there anything left to say about the Peasants’ War of 1524/25? This article takes up that challenge by demonstrating how the ‘monetary turn’ evident in the later decades of the fifteenth century and early decades of the sixteenth century explains an often-overlooked item amongst peasants’ complaints: the nature of their financial exploitation by feudal lords and their administrators. Such monetary concerns had featured prominently on lists of …
Marx, Mercantilism and the Cameralist Path to Wealth
Mercantilism was the origin of capitalism, as Marx argued in Das Kapital. Many misconceptions have surrounded modern historians’ interpretations of it, especially those contrasting “mercantilism” with its supposed neighbouring disciplines, variants or apparent Sonderwege, such as German Cameralism. But when seen in a European perspective, “Mercantilism” as commonly framed was more of an Anglo-Saxon Sonderweg within a broader continental system of…
Capitalism, Cameralism, and the Discovery of the Future, 1300s–2000s
Modern models of economic growth and capitalist modernity rest on capital accumulation, inclusive institutions, and various often unquantifiable aspects of “culture” (to which institutions belong). Scholars have also pinpointed the ability, or rather illusion, of human individuals to plan and predict their economic and social future(s). This transition to future thinking opened European’s spaces of possibility during what Reinhart Koselleck famou…
Koji Yamamoto. Taming Capitalism before Its Triumph
Great divergence
Since the times of Adam Smith, David Hume, Karl Marx, and Max Weber, social scientists and historians have studied the origins, causes, nature, and consequences of global economic disparity. Some have speculated about an inherent cultural-economic superiority of Europe due to the fact that the first transition into an industrial economy occurred in Western Europe and not in Asia. First, money, markets, and monetary transactions are assumed to hav…
Wirtschaftsgeschichte neu denken

Burying Money? Monetary Origins and Afterlives of Luther's Reformation
The article offers a new interpretation of Martin Luther as an economic thinker, as well as the monetary economic origins of the Reformation of 1517. The argument is presented in six sections. The first one outlines key points in Luther's biography relevant for the present purpose. A second section discusses the basic features of Luther's economic "theory." This gives rise to a brief discussion of the development of the money supply in Germany in…
Kameralismus, Kapitalismus und die Ursprünge des modernen Wirtschaftswachstums – aus Sicht der Geldtheorie
The paper calls for a reconceptualization of pre-classical political economy and economic thought and its role in long-term growth and Europe’s transition towards industrialization, c. 1350-1900. The focus will be on German Cameralism and its imputed characteristic as a Sonderweg doctrine. The Sonderweg hypothesis will be refuted. Cameralism was neither specifically German (it was a pan-European doctrine), nor in any way an aberration in the evol…
Heckscher Reloaded? Mercantilism, the State, and Europe's Transition to Industrialization, 1600–1900
Recent years have seen an increase in the number of historical studies dealing with the state and its involvement in the process of economic growth, both prior to and during the transition known as industrialization. This is striking inasmuch as for a long time the state as an actor had been absent from the master narratives in history. It is still lacking in most studies on the Great Divergence, i.e. the story explaining the long-run differentia…
Sheilagh Ogilvie, Institutions and European Trade. Merchant Guilds, 1000–1800
The book refutes a commonly-held notion that guilds—mainly merchant guilds, a form of association to be found across most European countries between the eleventh and nineteenth centuries—were efficient institutions directed at solving coordination problems, asymmetric information and imperfectly-developed markets. It is argued that, contrary to views put forth by other scholars, most notably the late S. Epstein, as well as A. Greif, that guilds d…
Deflation – Devaluation – Rebellion
Was ist Geld? Woraus entsteht Vertrauen in das Geld? Was machen die Akteure mit dem Geld? Was macht das Geld mit den Akteuren? Wie verändert das Geld die Gesellschaft? Diese und andere Fragen klärt Philipp Robinson Rössner und geht dabei besonders auf die Reformation Martin Luthers und die sozialen Unruhen und Bewegungen der 'Sattelzeit' um 1450–1550 ein. Denn diese hingen, von den zahlreichen Bauernkriegen des Spätmittelalters bis hin zu Martin …

Das friderizianische Preußen (1740–1786) – eine moderne Ökonomie
Eighteenth-century Prussia under Frederick the Great has been credited with an enormous progress from a second-rate regional power to one of the more powerful continental states of her time. Frederick’s success in creating a powerful, partly predatory and highly militarized state, securing Prussia a place in the European ‘concert of power’ (however strong this might have been) are undisputed. So are some of the more notable activities in economic…
The 1738–41 Harvest Crisis in Scotland
Between 1738 and 1741 Scotland experienced one of the harshest harvest crises and depressions in the eighteenth-century. After at least two consecutive harvest failures (in 1739 and 1740 and perhaps also in 1738) agrarian and industrial output contracted, the price level doubled, and average incomes fell below subsistence. Due to an increase in mortality, there was also a considerable contraction in aggregate demand. Data drawn from both the micr…
