Inheritance and wealth accumulation among Sweden’s business elite. The case of the Ekman family (1800–1950)
This article investigates how inheritance shapes wealth accumulation and distribution within Sweden’s business elite. It focuses on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period characterised by rapid industrialisation, expanding financial markets, and the creation of massive wealth. Through the study of the Ekman family, we explore how intergenerational transfers, family networks, and individual agency interacted in the creation and pre…
Mapping Family, Wealth, and Inheritance
A novel genealogical approach to inheritance management uses probate inventories and tax records to trace intra-family dynamics and intergenerational patterns of wealth accumulation. When applied to a small sample of Swedish noble families from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, the methodology makes three key findings: (1) position in a family tree significantly affected individual wealth outcomes; (2) land was central to noble wealth well…
Pawning for the poor and the consumer revolution
Between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, shifts in consumption patterns gave individuals access to cheaper substitutes for quality goods, which though less expensive were of lower quality. This led to an increased consumption and accumulation of objects, which eventually flooded the second-hand market. While the literature often portrays this trend as ‘luxury for the poor’, emphasising its positive outcomes, it is not yet clear how it af…
Credit Networks in The Preindustrial World
This open access book aims to explore the possibilities offered by social network analysis for the study of past financial markets and networks
Borrowing in a pre-industrial city
In early modern Venice, credit was ubiquitous, with various lenders offering long- and short- term loans. This article traces the structure of the Venetian credit market in the eighteenth century and examines the borrowing opportunities available to the local population, focusing in particular on consumer credit. The research studies how people approached credit in a pre-industrial society, and what factors may have shaped the ways through which …
Women and wealth in Sweden
In the Swedish context, fairly little is known about the variation in the level and composition of female wealth over the long term. This paper aims to contribute to filling this gap, emphasising the main features of unmarried women's wealth and assessing how it evolved during the second half of the nineteenth century. To this end, the study relies on a sample of about 500 probate inventories drawn up in the city of Uppsala between 1850 and 1910.…

A complicated puzzle
This article aims to retrace the extent of single women's engagement in the credit market. To this end, it relies on a series of more than 1,900 probate inventories drawn up between 1790 and 1910 in the two Swedish cities of Gävle and Uppsala. These two cities represent an ideal case study, because the process of industrialisation and economic development resulted in two differently structured credit markets. The research centres initially on the…
Credit and Poverty in Early Modern Venice
In early modern Venice, wine and money were intrinsically linked through the pawnbroking service that innkeepers and bastioneri, the managers of wine warehouses (bastioni), offered their customers. The loans that they supplied were generally small, officially interest-free, and frequent. Moreover, at least one-third of each was paid in wine, at that time considered a staple. Hence, innkeepers and bastioneri were central figures in Venice's urban …
