  • Why Small Coins Were Debased More Quickly Than
    Working Papers No. 107/08 ‘The Big Problem of the Petty Coins’, and how it could be solved in the late Middle Ages Oliver Volckart © Oliver Volckart London School of Economics February 2008 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0) 20 7955 7860 Fax: +44 (0) 20 7955 7730 ‘The Big Problem of the Petty Coins’, and how it could be solved in the late Middle Ages Oliver Volckart Abstract In this paper, the problem of why low-purchasing power silver coins depreciated relative to high-purchasing power gold coins is examined. The standard explanation by Sargent and Velde is refuted. It is argued that the relative stability of gold was due to the demand from consumers able to detect debasements and to choose other suppliers; the rulers’ fear of a loss of reputation therefore allowed them to commit to monetary stability. Consumers of silver were less able to detect changes in the standard and therefore willing to accept debased coins, which meant that rulers could not easily commit to preserving stable silver currencies. The problem could be solved by establishing an independent agency responsible for monetary policies. As infringements of these agencies’ autonomy would be obvious to a wider audience, rulers could then commit to respecting monetary stability. Data on the standards of urban and princely currencies supports the conclusion that this mechanism solved the problem of maintaining the stability of low-purchasing power silver coins. 1. Introduction To the modern eye, late medieval monetary systems exhibit a number of baffling complexities: They were usually based on some variant of a duodecimal system; they contained ‘ghost units’ that never circulated as coins but were solely used for accounting purposes; the numerical relations between denominations of the same currency were not necessarily stable; and they suffered frequent changes in the bullion content of the coins from which they were composed.

  • M-211 Publication Title: Papers of August Von
    Publication Number: M-211 Publication Title: Papers of August von Gneisenau, ca. 1785-1831 Date Published: 1953 PAPERS OF AUGUST VON GNEISENAU, ca. 1785-1831 Introduction The records reproduced in this microfilm publication consist of papers of August von Gneisenau, an officer of the Prussian Army who served with distinction in the Napoleonic Wars, was an outstanding figure in the military reform movement in Prussia, and was prominent in the intellectual and political life of his time as a leader of strong liberal and nationalist sympathies. The binders and folders in which these documents are filed bear the imprint of the Heeresarchiv at Potsdam, which was the custodian of the collection; in the classification scheme of this organization the collection was identified as “Lager No. 513.” Some binders also bear the earlier label of the Geheimes Archiv des Kriegsministeriums or of the Kriegs Archiv des Grossen Generalstabes; these institutions appear to have been previous repositories for parts of the collection. The Heeresarchiv originally was a part of the Reichsarchiv; in 1936, however, it was separated from the Reichsarchiv, and all military records and related materials in the custody of the latter were transferred to it. During military operations in Germany in 1945 the documents reproduced in this microfilm publication came into the possession of the United States armed forces. In 1947 the War Department transferred them to the National Archives, where they constitute part of a body of records designated as Record Group 242, World War II Collection of Seized Enemy Records. Field Marshal Graf von Gneisenau was born at Schildau, near Torgau, Saxony, on October 27, 1760, and died at Posen on August 23, 1831.

  • The British Army in Home Defense, 1844-1871: Militia and Volunteers in a Liberal Era
    The British Army in Home Defense, 1844-1871: Militia and Volunteers in a Liberal Era DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Stephen Judah Shapiro, Hons. B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jennifer Siegel, Advisor Professor Geoffrey Parker Professor Christopher Otter Copyright by Stephen Judah Shapiro 2011 Abstract For almost three decades, politics in mid-Victorian Britain were dominated by a loose but influential cross-class liberal political consensus. Extending beyond the parliamentary Liberal party, liberalism‘s influence spread into almost every aspect of public policy. This dissertation examines the impact of liberal politics and thought on the development of British military policy in the 1840s, 50s, and 60s through the lens of home defense. Britain was gripped by major invasion panics in 1848, 1852, and 1859, each of which led to serious reconsiderations of home defense. Among the subsequent reforms and innovations were the fortification of England‘s southern coast, the revival of the militia, and the creation of the amateur Volunteer Force. The debate surrounding home defense offers the best path to examining the impact of a vibrant but conflicted political philosophy on military policy. It demonstrates the depth of liberalism‘s impact not just on British military policy but also on the assumptions on which that policy was based, as well as highlighting the importance of the relationship between political thought and the development of Britain‘s armed forces. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my family.
