From Old Regime to Industrial State
In From Old Regime to Industrial State, Richard H. Tilly and Michael Kopsidis question established thinking about Germany’s industrialization. While some hold that Germany experienced a sudden breakthrough to industrialization, the authors instead consider a long view, incorporating market demand, agricultural advances, and regional variations in industrial innovativeness, customs, and governance. They begin their assessment earlier than previous studies to show how the 18th-century emergence of international trade and the accumulation of capital by merchants fed commercial expansion and innovation. This book provides the history behind the modern German economic juggernaut.

Agrarentwicklung
B�uerliche Agrarrevolutionen pr�gten Europas Neuzeit und Industrialisierung. Bis heute fehlt jedoch eine befriedigende Erkl�rung fuer die �konomische Vitalit�t der neuzeitlichen Bauern. Wichtige Beitr�ge bietet die neuere Entwicklungs�konomie mit ihrer radikalen Neubewertung der Leistungs- und Modernisierungsf�higkeit b�uerlichen Wirtschaftens. Der vorliegende Band nutzt erstmals systematisch entwicklungs�konomische Erkenntnisse fuer eine vergleichende Analyse der neuzeitlichen englischen und westf�lischen Agrarentwicklung. Dabei zeigt sich, dass sich industrielle und zeitnahe agrarische �Revolutionen� fundamental unterschieden. Dennoch stellten die neuzeitlichen Agrarrevolutionen den Durchbruch in die moderne Welt dar. Entscheidend hierfuer war die ausgepr�gte Anpassungsf�higkeit b�uerlicher �konomie an sich best�ndig wandelnde M�rkte.
Das Französische Ancien Régime Als Eigentümergesellschaft?

Managing the Wealth of Nations
‘Commerce and manufactures gradually introduced order and good government,’ wrote Adam Smith in his Wealth of Nations, ‘and with them, the liberty and security of individuals.’ However, Philipp Robinson Rössner shows how, when looked at in the face of history, it has usually been the other way around. This book follows the development of capitalism from the Middle Ages through the industrial revolution to the modern day, casting new light on the areas where premodern political economies of growth and development made a difference. It shows how order and governance provided the foundation for prosperity, growth and the wealth of nations. Written for scholars and students of economic history, this is a pioneering new study that debunks the neoliberal origin myth of how capitalism came into the world.
Agriculture and Economic Development in Europe Since 1870
Whilst many books on the European economy have focused on the analysis of its industrial sectors, this book draws attention to the often ignored contribution made by the development of European agriculture over the past two centuries. In doing so, the authors adopt a revisionist perspective on the subject, addressing the lack of coherent study of the agricultural sector and reassessing old theories about the links between agricultural and economic development. In focusing on those countries which by 1870 still had a large agricultural sector, namely, France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Greece and Turkey, this book determines the role of the agricultural sector in the economic development of Europe. These chapters demonstrate how the rate of development in the agricultural sector depended on specific industrial, political and market conditions; the diversity of ways and timings through which transformation was achieved is also considered.
Science, Geopolitics and Culture in the Polar Region
Throughout the twentieth century, glaciologists and geophysicists from Denmark, Norway and Sweden made important scientific contributions across the Arctic and Antarctic. This research was of acute security and policy interest during the Cold War, as knowledge of the polar regions assumed military importance. But scientists also helped make the polar regions Nordic spaces in a cultural and political sense, with scientists from Norden punching far above their weight in terms of population, geographical size or economic activity. This volume presents an image of Norden that stretches far beyond its conventional limits, covering a vast area in the North Atlantic and the Arctic Sea, as well as p...
