First Published in 1994. Writing as a unified team, the authors, three French economists—they insist they are economists, not economic historians, though they are steeped in the monetary, financial, economic, social, and political history of Europe in the sixteenth century—have written a fascinating account of the development of means of payment at the end of the Renaissance and the beginning of the modern period. The account is limited for the most part to what they call “Latin Christianity”—primarily France, Italy, and Spain. It describes both the development of an integrated circuit of intra-European payments by means of bills of exchange negotiated at trade and payment fairs and the emergence of national systems of money of account and metallic coins at the hands of the monarchs of the emerging state system.
"The idea of capital dominated the imagination of Western society throughout the era of its greatest economic development, from the Industrial Revolution up to the 1970s. Means and Ends provides a unique and comprehensive interpretation of this idea, examining it both within and outside a political economy framework, and tracing its rise and evolution from the sixteenth century through to the modern era. Based on a wealth of primary sources, this is a stimulating work of cultural and intellectual history which sheds new light on one of the guiding concepts of our age."--BOOK JACKET.

Diese Festschrift ist Ilja Mieck, Emeritus für Neuere Geschichte an der Freien Universität Berlin, zum 65. Geburtstag gewidmet. Das breite historisch-wissenschaftliche Interesse des Gelehrten, das in seinem bisherigen Lebenswerk zur Sprache kam, findet seinen Niederschlag auch in der Festgabe. Stellvertretend für den methodisch wie geographisch-räumlich und zeitlich weit gefächerten Ansatz von Ilja Mieck stehen unter anderem seine folgenden, bedeutenden Arbeiten: die Monographie über »Preußische Gewerbepolitik in Berlin 1806-1844« und die bereits in fünfter Auflage erschienene »Europäische Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit«, das Werk über »Die Entstehung des modernen Frankreich 1...
