Medieval Merchants’ Letters in Northern Europe
This article is concerned with the characteristic features that define medieval merchants’ letters. It explores systematically a collection of merchants’ letters from early 16th-century Finland, the so-called Scheel’s collection, which is unique in medieval northern Europe. Scheel’s letters show surprising conformity. They followed the conventions of letter writing, including their content, form, and style. Scheel’s letters were employed primaril…
The rise of the land market in medieval south-west Finland
This article aims to explain how the market for land functioned in medieval south-west Finland. The data show that in medieval times land was increasingly treated as something to be transferred in return for ready money, albeit within the limits set by the interests of the family. The land market was open to large segments of society, suggesting that barriers to entry were low. It was characterised by strong vertical integration, although asymmet…
Inter-communal institutions in medieval trade
This article examines the institutional structure of medieval overseas trade to explain why trade thrived even in the absence of the state. The literature has dealt mainly with intra-coalition or intra-community relations. However, the literature does not answer the question of how institutions could be created that could support interaction between a large number of distant communities and between merchants who did not necessarily know one anoth…
Cartel success and institutions. The Finnish Cotton Cartel, 1903–1939
This article uses institutional theory to interpret collusive behaviour in the pre-World War II cotton cartel in Finland. The findings do not support the optimistic view of the institutionalists about the efficiency of economic institutions in boosting cooperation. Only one (the conciliation mechanism) of the four institutions identified in the cotton cartel could check opportunism to a certain degree, although it too lacked effective enforcement…
Plagues and Governments
This paper examines the range of preventive means at the authorities' disposal by describing the public policies which were adopted against plague in early modern Finland. Interest is focused on the question whether the various actions taken by the authorities had other aims than just the prevention of plague. The paper raises questions about the extent of social breakdown and resistance to government regulation in time of plague, and whether or …
Information, communication technology, and business in the nineteenth century
Historically, access to recent and reliable information has been a central problem in business. The present paper is concerned with the role of information and communication technology in international trade in the nineteenth century. The world's first modern instrument of information technology, the telegraph, had a wide-ranging impact on business, though to refer to it as a revolution is an exaggeration. For centuries, prices and other data wer…
Community, the individual, and the rise of capitalism
The present paper is concerned with the organisation of medieval foreign trade from the point of view of Finnish urban communities. The insecurity that characterised medieval commerce in the Baltic region emphasized the importance of a well-functioning commercial organization. Mercantile shipping based on private enterprise would have been too risky for extensive trade, while the resources of the Crown were also not sufficient. As a solution the …
