[The Role of the Price Revolution in European Industrializatıon: An Explanation With Respect to the Social and Economic Transformation of Europe]. [Master Thesis], Ankara, [2019]. The industrialization period of Europe was a milestone in the economic history. Its consequences are still faced by modern nation states. Hence, the roots of the Price Revolution – the great inflation of sixteenth century which was experienced in Europe – and its effects to this process was questioned in this thesis. First of all the social transformation of Europe – transition from feudalism to capitalism – was briefly analyzed by considering the mercantilist era as well. This period was important for us to focus on the monetization of the economies. At the same time, the relationship between the precious metal inflow, minting activities and the inflation was questioned. To create an insight on the case, price indexes of various cities in Europe and price trends of different sectors were given. Then, the demand base of the Price Revolution – its relationship with the population – was considered in the frame of quantity theory of money.

Consolidated power and created the foundation for notes Europe’s first modern nation-states in France, England and Spain. 1. This evolution had begun in the Middle Ages. a. New Monarchs on the continent began to make use of Roman Law and declared themselves “sovereign” while incorporating the will and welfare of their people into the person of the monarch This meant they had authority to make their own laws b. Meanwhile, monarchies had grown weaker in eastern Europe during the Middle Ages. 2. New Monarchies never achieved absolute power; absolutism did not emerge effectively until the 17th century (e.g. Louis XIV in France). 3. New Monarchies also were not nation-states (in the modern sense) since populations did not necessarily feel that they belonged to a “nation” a. Identity tended to be much more local or regional. b. The modern notion of nationalism did not emerge until the late 18th and early 19th centuries. B. Characteristics of New Monarchies 1. Reduced the power of the nobility through taxation, confiscation of lands (from uncooperative nobles), and the hiring of mercenary armies or the creation of standing armies a. The advent of gunpowder (that resulted in the production of muskets and cannon) increased the vulnerability of noble armies and their knights b. However, many nobles in return for their support of the king gained titles and offices and served in the royal court or as royal officials 2.

  • The Sustainable Debts of Philip II: a Reconstruction of Spain's Fiscal
    The Sustainable Debts of Philip II: A Reconstruction of Spain’s Fiscal Position, 1560-1598* Mauricio Drelichman Hans-Joachim Voth The University of British Columbia ICREA/Universitat Pompeu Fabra and and CIFAR CEPR This Draft: January 2010 Abstract: The defaults of Philip II have attained mythical status as the origin of sovereign debt crises. We reassess the fiscal position of Habsburg Castile, deriving comprehensive estimates of revenue, debt, and expenditure from new archival data. The king’s debts were sustainable. Primary surpluses were large and rising. Debt/revenue ratios were broadly unchanged across Philip’s reign. Castilian finances in the sixteenth century compare favorably with those of other early modern fiscal states at the height of their imperial ambitions, including Britain. The defaults of Philip II therefore reflected short-term liquidity crises, and were not a sign of unsustainable debts. * For helpful comments, we thank Daron Acemoglu, George Akerlof, Carlos Alvarez Nogal, Fernando Broner, Albert Carreras, Marc Flandreau, Caroline Fohlin, Regina Grafe, Avner Greif, Viktoria Hnatkovska, Angela Redish, Alberto Martín, Paolo Mauro, David Mitch, Kris Mitchener, Joel Mokyr, Lyndon Moore, Roger Myerson, Kevin O’Rourke, Sevket Pamuk, Richard Portes, Leandro Prados de la Escosura, Nathan Sussman, Alan M.

  • The Columbian Exchange
    Portuguese and Spanish Overseas Expansion, 1450-1600 The rise of the New Monarchies led directly to European overseas expansion. The first phase (1450-1600) was dominated by Portugal and Spain. For various reasons, England and France lagged behind. It wasn’t until after 1600 that they, along with the Dutch, also established overseas trade routes and colonies. In this reading we will focus on the Portuguese and Spanish. The first question we must ask is why, after remaining on their own continent throughout the 1000-year-long medieval period (except, perhaps, for the Crusades to the Holy Land) did Europeans begin sailing to Africa, the Americas, and Asia in the 15th century? The answer lies in the desire of the New Monarchies to gain greater wealth and power. Motives for Overseas Exploration The Economic Motive The primary motive for overseas exploration was for the New Monarchies to increase their power by acquiring new sources of wealth. Having centralized their governments at the expense of the feudal nobility and Church, the New Monarchies sought other ways besides internal taxation to increase the wealth and power of their states. As we saw in the previous reading, France and Spain sought to dominate the divided Italian states – much to the dismay of Machiavelli. Besides war, marriage was also used to increase state power. Spain’s influence in Europe grew enormously with the succession of Ferdinand and Isabella’s grandson, Charles Habsburg to the throne of Spain as Charles V. Ruling both Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, the Habsburg dynasty was Europe’s most powerful.

Before the conquest of the Americas, resource scarcity and the need for careful resource management defined Spanish environmental thought. Afterward, the idea that the Americas could provide infinite wealth took precedence. But as the century progressed and the empire declined, people from different parts of Spanish society--municipal councilmen, conquistadors, royal cosmographers, and royal reformers--reconciled these two ideas into one line of thought: abundant

  • The Sustainable Debts of Philip II: a Reconstruction of Spain’S Fiscal Position, 1560-1598*
    The Sustainable Debts of Philip II: A Reconstruction of Spain’s Fiscal Position, 1560-1598* Mauricio Drelichman Hans-Joachim Voth The University of British Columbia ICREA/Universitat Pompeu Fabra and and CIFAR CEPR Abstract: The defaults of Philip II have attained mythical status as the origin of sovereign debt crises. The king failed to honor his debts four times during his reign. In this paper, we reassess the fiscal position of Habsburg Spain. New archival evidence allows us to derive comprehensive estimates of debt and revenue. These show that primary surpluses were sufficient to make the king’s debt sustainable for most of his reign. Spain’s debt burden was manageable up to the 1580s, and its fiscal position only deteriorated for good after the defeat of the “Invincible Armada.” We also estimate fiscal policy reaction functions, and show that Spain under the Habsburgs was at least as “responsible” as the US in the 20th century or as Britain in the 18th century. Our results suggest that the outcome of uncertain events such as wars may have more influence on a history of default than strict adherence to fiscal rules.

  • Money, Prices, Wages, and 'Profit Inflation' in Spain, the Southern
    Money, Prices, Wages, and ‘Profit Inflation’ in Spain, the Southern Netherlands, and England during the Price Revolution era: ca. 1520 - ca. 1650 John H. Munro Professor Emeritus of Economics University of Toronto, Toronto, Canadá [email protected] Resumo Esse artigo reexamina a famosa tese de 1929 de Earl Hamilton sobre a “Inflação de lucros” e o “nascimento do capitalismo industrial moderno” durante o período da Revolução dos Preços (1520-1650), e as opiniões de seus inúmeros críticos. Baseado em novas fontes, minhas conclusões diferem de ambos: enquanto foram encontradas mais evidências a respeito da inflação de lucros na Inglaterra do que os seus críticos poderiam admitir, nenhuma foi encontrada sobre a região do sudeste holandês, onde os salários industriais tenderam a crescer mais que os preços industriais. Este estudo conclui com um exame sucinto dos efeitos sobre a inflação em dois outros fatores de custo: terra, em termos de aluguéis reais, e capital, em termos de juros reais, os quais caíram com a inflação. Ambos os custos ficaram atrás dos preços industriais no período moderno na Inglaterra e nos Países Baixos, apesar dos juros reais ficarem mais atrás que os aluguéis reais. Palavras-chave: moeda, cunhagem (moeda metálica), Revolução dos Preços, inflação, “inflação de lucros”, “deflação de lucros”, índices de preço ao consumidor, salários reais e nominais, artesãos de construção, pedreiros, Espanha, Inglaterra, Países Baixos, indústria de grande escala. Abstract This article re-examines Earl Hamilton’s famous 1929 thesis on ‘Profit Inflation’ and the ‘birth of modern industrial capitalism’ during the Price Revolution era (c. 1520 - c. 1650), and the views of his numerous critics.

  • Transplantation of Asian Spices in the Spanish Empire 1518-1640
    Transplantation of Asian Spices in the Spanish Empire 1518-1640: Entrepreneurship, Empiricism, and the Crown Omri Bassewitch Frenkel Department of History and Classical Studies Faculty of Arts McGill University Montreal January 2017 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Omri Bassewitch Frenkel 2017 ii Abstract This dissertation focuses on the way in which Crown-sponsored attempts to transplant or domesticate commercially valuable Asian spices throughout the Spanish empire generated production, circulation and institutionalization of empirical knowledge throughout Spain’s imperial domains. Although largely unsuccessful, Spaniards perceived spice transplantations as an important component of Spain’s imperial expansion during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Ventures for the introduction or domestication of spices were often initiated and run by networks of settlers, entrepreneurs, officials, friars, and natural historians, who, through empirical observation and experimentation, acquired specific expertise in that field. Successful spice transplantations attracted the attention of Spain’s imperial establishments, namely the Council of the Indies and the Casa de Contratación [known also as the “House of Trade”], which, in turn, engaged colonial administrators in Spanish America and the Philippines to call upon relevant experts for information regarding spice cultivation and processing. Consequently, experiments in the introduction and cultivation of spices were conducted in private and Crown estates in Spanish America, the Philippines and Spain, and the results thereof helped formulate Crown policies regulating spice cultivation and trade. It is maintained here that spice transplantation projects reflect an organizational culture in which policies were formed and decisions were made based on expert opinions obtained through empirical observations and experiments.
