Die deutsche Inflation
The German Inflation Trauma
The notion of a nation-specific inflation trauma among the German population is ubiquitous in the public debate in Germany and beyond. According to a widespread reading of history because of its experience with hyperinflation in 1923, the Germans not only fear rising prices but favor a stability-oriented monetary and fiscal policy. The historical origins of this contemporary understanding of the German inflation trauma are controversial. The majo…
Business Strategies and the Law
The relationship between business strategies and legal institutions is important for understanding the historical dynamics of modern capitalism. While legal history and economic history have remained distinct disciplines, a growing number of studies now populates a vibrant «borderland» between the two. Building on frameworks of legal history, organization studies, and «new entrepreneurial history», our contribution systematizes the relation of en…
Inflation and the negotiation of wages. Comparative responses to monetary changes in Germany and the United States during the Gold Standard Era, 1876–1926
Negotiations over wages have always been a central part of industrial relations in capitalist economies. The unstable value of money in the 19th and 20th centuries has made these negotiations both crucial and complex. Linking contemporary understandings of monetary values to wage bargaining provides an important historical background for a better understanding of real wage developments and the agency of workers. Adopting a comparative perspective…
Keynes, inflation and the public debt
Recent contributions on ‘financial repression’ and ‘money illusion’ have referred to Maynard Keynes's How to Pay for the War as a supporting document. This article discusses whether Keynes prescribed policies of ‘financial repression’ that were implemented in the United Kingdom, and other countries, following World War II. It seems reasonable that Keynes's writings were instrumental in translating British monetary experiences of the 1920s and 193…
Breaking the rules
How do laws change? The paper argues that under certain historical conditions ‘Schumpeterian rule-breaking’ has played a crucial role for understanding such change. If legal change is welcomed by large parts of society but the political system produces a stalemate, individual actors breaking the rules are able to change them at least in the long run. The paper explores the case study of ‘Blue Laws’ in the United States to discuss relevant factors…
Introduction
What is the relation between businesses and the law? Although few would doubt that firms are acting in tightly regulated legal environments, and have done so for decades, no consensus has emerged o
Die Schaffung eines Marktes
Did markets function differently in West Germany and the United States? This study in economic sociology examines this question by focusing specifically on the market for tv sets. It shows that social contexts decidedly shape market behavior on the part of manufacturers, dealers, and consumers. The study thus transcends the model of national "market cultures" to reveal changes in and similarities between consumer markets in the two societies.
Material Incentives, Market Relations, and Historical Change
Why did premiums like turkeys, bottles of whiskey, or travel vouchers play an important role in the United States but not in West Germany? Looking for an answer, this article takes a detailed look at how television sets were traded along the distribution chain in both countries. The use of material incentives was an important competitive strategy of U.S. manufacturers and distributors during the 1950s. At the same time, it held price competitive …
