Freedom and Capitalism in Early Modern Europe
The author's wide ambitions and aims with this quite compressed book (only 167 pages) seem clear: to raise and discuss in synthetic fashion topics in economic history with a very long pedigree, the rise of capitalism and the role of political economic discourse before Adam Smith and classical political economy in Britain (and France). The leading idea here is to argue against what Milton Friedman formulated in his famous Capitalism and Freedom (1…
Cameralism asSonderwegof German Mercantilism
In recent years there has been a renewed interest in Cameralism, both as a discourse and as an administrative political economy, in both theory and practice. Attention has been drawn to how Cameralism-defined as thought and practice-should be understood. The aim of this article is to take a step back and focus on the historiography of Cameralism from the nineteenth century onwards. Even though many in recent times have challenged old and seemingl…
What Can the State Do for You
It has been suggested that Swedish policy during the early post-war period was strongly directed towards mobility-increasing expenditures – most notably relocation allowances – aimed at moving labour from north to south. While this view has dominated the academic discussion on labour market policy, there is little direct evidence. We make three claims. First, the relocation allowances have to be evaluated against the regional policy. Second, by d…
Business history and the history of work – a contested relationship
In historical discourse business history and the history of work are most often treated as two separate fields of enquiry, with different agendas, theoretical fundaments and sometimes also methodologies. This paper argues that this is a misnomer. Although division of labour in the social sciences is only a natural consequence of the growth of knowledge, there are many reasons why business history and history of work should cooperate more in the f…

The evolution of Nordic finance - By Steffen E. Andersen
Nation, State and the Industrial Revolution
The industrial revolution and the creation of the modern (national) state are two of the most important historical processes to have occurred in Europe during the 19th century. The state and other bodies of governance play an important role in the development of capitalist market societies since the 18th century. But modern market economies are to a large degree a product of the interplay between market and governance. Yet we are often told a str…
The Evolution of Path Dependence
The notion and interpretation of path dependence have been discussed and utilized in various social sciences during the last two decades. This innovative book provides significant new insights onto how the different applications of path dependence have developed and evolved. The authors suggest that there has been a definite evolution from applications of path dependence in the history of technology towards other fields of social science. They al…

Between micro and macro — what economic history can learn from modern economics
The aim of this paper is to discuss the role of economic history to modern economic theory. Taking my point of departure from the division that still haunts economic history — between micro and macro approaches — the paper argues that economic theory today is significantly different from what it was only twenty or thirty years ago. Hence, for example, the division between micro and macro has been upset in modern economics. Also the development of…

State Intervention and the Role of History - state and private actors in Swedish network industries
Three main theoretical positions towards state intervention and regulation are discussed in relation to the case of Swedish infrastructure. The positive, the normative, and the political transaction cost approaches are examined in relation to the historic development of regulatory systems in civil aviation, railroads, and telecommunications. The authors show that governance regimes have historical roots, and develop differently due to policies im…
Regulatory change and international co-operation
The article deals with the issue of international co-operation and co-ordination in the Scandinavian communication industries. While many studies have been made of the international organizations regulating these industries, little has been said about the various voluntary, often informal, bilateral and multilateral agreements that exist outside such organizations. Yet those agreements were influential in shaping the international Scandinavian co…

Eli Heckscher, mercantilism, and the favourable balance of trade
Eli Heckscher's work on mercantilism, impressive in both weight and content, which appeared in two parts in 1931, may be his foremost contribution to the history of economic doctrine.1 In this work Heckscher explicitly affirms his view of mercantilism as a coherent politico-economic system, to which corresponds a set of ideas embracing a range of economic thinkers
Proto-industrialisation in Sweden
A period of proto-industrialisation has been regarded as an important prerequisite of the industrial revolution in western Europe during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Partly initiated by the income effect produced by the contemporary agrarian revolution, various types of rural-based pre-industrial activities began to appear in a number of regions of western Europe. Proto-industrialisation then led on to the industrial revolution, when …
Drinking and the verlag System 1820–1850
The chronicles of folk-memory and the narratives and notes of autobiographers contain frequent references to heavy consumption of brännvin in pre-industrial Eskilstuna. ‘One or two of the workmen did take care of themselves, but most of them used to drink like fury,’ says Anna Holmberg (b. 1855), for example.1 Klara Atterberg relates: ‘The old smiths ... drank practically all the time. When they thought they had done enough work for the day they …

Corruption and civic order — natural law and economic discourse in Sweden during the age of freedom
Views on the history of economic thought have changed during recent decades, with regard both to content and to how it should be written. This special discipline was formerly dominated by an approach that was in principle anachronistic: modern economic theory functioned as the starting point and was projected backwards in time. The task of the history of economic thought was to depict the gradual perfecting of concepts and theories — the “box of …
Social history as economic history in Sweden. Some remarks
During the last two decades social history as a subject has developed rapidly, with regard both to the number of its practicioners as well as the general interest it attracts within the international academic community. In a book of some years ago D.C. Coleman even emphasized that its success has been so great that it has had a tendency to outcompete discourses of older and more distinguished standing; that is, political history as well as econom…
Proto-Industrialisation, Culture et Tavernes en Suède (1800-1850)
En Europe occidentale, au cours de la période pré-industrielle, le Verlag-System se caractérise par une grande complexité des liaisons sociales. Marchands, maîtres artisans et ouvriers sont liés par un réseau de relations fondées sur la précarité du système économique, et en particulier son incapacité manifeste à contrôler le processus de production. Cette faiblesse contribue à expliquer en quoi les relations de crédit, les pratiques de paiement …
La percée de l'industrialisation en Suède. Nouvelles orientations du débat et de la recherche
I. La révolution industrielle en Suède a été essentiellement considérée comme une sorte de « grande explosion ». Si l'on s'en tient au modèle proposé par Gerschenkron, la Suède a eu besoin d'un taux de croissance plus élevé pour réussir son « décollage » parce qu'elle faisait partie des tard venus dans la course à l'industrialisation. D'après ce modèle général dont l'influence a été grande à partir des années 1960, il était également tout à fait …
Mercantilist Economics
Les institutions d'une économie de marché
C'est au cours des années 1930 que le «modèle suédois» a pris consistance. Reposant sur une coopération harmonieuse entre l'Etat, les employeurs et les syndicats, son épanouissement a été rendu possible par la mise en place d'institutions originales, héritées en grande partie des siècles antérieurs. Au XVIIIe siècle, la forte empreinte du mercantilisme sur la modernisation économique du pays a entraîné la mise en place de cadres institutionnels p…
