Full Beacher Volume 19, Number 10 Thursday, March 13, 2003 A Bit of the Little Bit by George A. Bowie There was this woman on the phone to a talkshow host and her voice was turned up so as to be heard miles away and the chap with the microphone told her not to be so angry and she said to him, “I’m not angry, I’m Irish.” The Irish, such as herself, seem to have ways of being different from other people in the world for whatever their reason. For certain they are able to support such distinction in this about them, that Ireland is the only place in the whole world, to my knowing, where it is said there are leprechauns. I had no intention at all to be thinking about leprechauns when I went to Ireland a few years back on a writing assignment. It was the afternoon of a day during which I had spent most of the time interviewing people and the doing of a pub in the Sandymount section of Dublin, a nice place which I had visited on previous trips and was glad to be back there. Shortly after seating myself at a small table, with my back to the wall from where I could survey the scene of it all, there came through the far door and the near door a collection of jolly folk. These were young men and young women who were evidently regu- lar patrons, as possible to assume since they made for a certain portion of the bar, and greeted the counterman as a close acquaintance.

  • 1 ENTER the GHOST Cashless Payments in the Early Modern Low
    ENTER THE GHOST Cashless payments in the Early Modern Low Countries, 1500-18001 Oscar Gelderbloma and Joost Jonkera, b Abstract We analyze the evolution of payments in the Low Countries during the period 1500-1800 to argue for the historical importance of money of account or ghost money. Aided by the adoption of new bookkeeping practices such as ledgers with current accounts, this convention spread throughout the entire area from the 14th century onwards. Ghost money eliminated most of the problems associated with paying cash by enabling people to settle transactions in a fictional currency accepted by everyone. As a result two functions of money, standard of value and means of settlement, penetrated easily, leaving the third one, store of wealth, to whatever gold and silver coins available. When merchants used ghost money to record credit granted to counterparts, they in effect created a form of money which in modern terms might count as M1. Since this happened on a very large scale, we should reconsider our notions about the volume of money in circulation during the Early Modern Era. 1 a Utrecht University, b University of Amsterdam.

  • Coins, Currencies, and Credit Instruments Media of Exchange in Economic and Social History１
    Coins, Currencies, and Credit Instruments Media of Exchange in Economic and Social History１ Jan Lucassen & Jaco Zuijderduijn TSEG １１ (３): １–１３ DOI: １０.５１１７/TSEG２０１４.３.ZUIJ Abstract How, in historical societies, did people finalise transactions? Over the past few decades many economic and social historians have concerned themselves with this question, following the examples set by Douglass North and Craig Muldrew. Surprisingly, they have almost completely disregarded the most straightforward solution that historical societies had to offer, namely by using coins and currencies. Those scholars assumed, in part, that credit instruments were much more important in day-to-day trade. In this introduction we argue that studies into the unequal socioeconomic distribution of media of ex- change – coins, currencies, and credit instruments – reveal mechanisms that are crucial to understanding broader social and economic processes. To this end, we discuss how the five articles in this special issue contribute to the growing literature on this topic. This special issue is the result of two meetings held at the Dutch Money Museum in 2011. Participants were asked to reflect on the role of coins, currencies, and credit in history.２ Their starting point was that these media of exchange were unequally distributed in the economy and in society. This 1 This special issue is the result of several contributions to a workshop held on 30 May 2011 at the Dutch Money Museum, as well as of a masterclass on financial history and numismatics given on 25 November 2011, also at the Dutch Money Museum. The authors would like to thank all the participants, as well as two anonymous referees, for their suggestions.

Poverty Targeting: Money Attitudes and Behaviours of Women in the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” (GK – Give Care) communities A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Policy At Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand Gilda Arawiran – Ramirez 2011 ABSTRACT The reduction of high poverty incidence in the Philippines is a major governance objective. Poverty targeting is a strategy to identify the factors that will help the poor raise themselves from poverty. The money attitudes and behaviours of the women of the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” showed aspects of their financial consciousness and awareness that requires, individual control and discipline, community support and policy intervention. The money attitudes and behaviours of the women in the visited communities were looked into to unveil the impact on poverty. The main research question is whether money attitudes and behaviours are poverty traps. The individual money capabilities were correlated to the workings and failures of the market and the institutions which are interconnected in the poverty problem. The research method was qualitative in nature. It was based on the interviews of 30 individuals, women residents and volunteers, of the Philippine “Gawad Kalinga” communities. The individual anecdotes disclosed opinions, attitudes, beliefs, sentiments, and emotions on their daily money struggles. The profile of the money attitudes and behaviours of the interviewees was used to determine the weaknesses that will entrap individuals in poverty.

Lumba A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee Vicente L. Rafael, Chair Laurie J. Sears Moon-Ho Jung Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History University of Washington Abstract Monetary Authorities: Market Knowledge and Imperial Government in the Colonial Philippines, 1892 – 1942 By Allan E. Lumba Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Vicente L. Rafael Department of History This dissertation argues that, from the twilight of the Spanish colonial era through the entire official American colonial insular period, the history of authority over money in the colonial Philippines reveals the emerging dominance of an authority based on knowledge of the market rather than an authority grounded strictly in sovereign power. The dominance of knowledge-based authority, especially through the first half of the twentieth century, was brought about by two specific historical changes: the positioning of the modern state as steward of the development of social life through capital and the increased intervention of the economic expert. Through close readings of multilingual archives relating to monetary, banking, and financial policies, my dissertation tracks how the legitimacy of imperial government became heavily dependent upon the colonial state’s capacity to manage and stabilize the monetary and financial system for the economic and social benefit of its subjects. Thus, despite the United States’ growing global economic hegemony, the American colonial state in the Philippines increasingly found itself beholden to the authority of the economic expert, an authority based on ! ""! its access to the seemingly natural laws of the market that both the state and the common public found illegible.

MMGs leverage the scale of the internet to involve thousands of people at once in a shared gaming experience. Some virtual worlds offer a fantasy world wherein players must engage in quests to achieve power and wealth, such as Entropia Universe, EVE Online, and World of Warcraft. Other virtual worlds give its users the opportunity to create, innovate and monetize their creations in these worlds. Such worlds do not have a goal and rather provides a platform for users to explore and create.

Sara Selldahl Approved Examiner Supervisor 2013-03-15 Terrence Brown Martin Vendel Commissioner Contact person Ericsson M-Commerce Christina Bäck Abstract The European Central Bank defines virtual currencies as ”unregulated, digital money, which is issued and usually controlled by its developers, and used and accepted among the members of a specific virtual community.” (European Central Bank, 2012, p. 5) The interest in virtual currencies has increased immensely over the last few years as they become increasingly prevalent in our society across many different industries. Up until now, the field of virtual currencies has been mainly uncharted land and despite interest in specific currencies, few attempts have been made at understanding or structuring the entire landscape The main research question in this thesis is related to the previously mentioned dilemma: understanding and structuring the virtual currency ecosystem, today and in the future. How can the virtual currency landscape currently be analyzed in a structured manner and what framework can be used to reflect and make predictions on the future development? The thesis is based on four different sources of information: a literature study of existing material, corporate interviews with companies dealing with virtual currencies and consumer interviews with potential early adopters, an online survey and a case study performed at Ericsson M-Commerce.
