    Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism

    Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert Robert Fredona Working Paper 18-021 Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert Harvard Business School Robert Fredona Harvard Business School Working Paper 18-021 Copyright © 2017 by Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Merchants and the Origins of Capitalism Sophus A. Reinert and Robert Fredona ABSTRACT: N.S.B. Gras, the father of Business History in the United States, argued that the era of mercantile capitalism was defined by the figure of the “sedentary merchant,” who managed his business from home, using correspondence and intermediaries, in contrast to the earlier “traveling merchant,” who accompanied his own goods to trade fairs. Taking this concept as its point of departure, this essay focuses on the predominantly Italian merchants who controlled the long‐distance East‐West trade of the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Until the opening of the Atlantic trade, the Mediterranean was Europe’s most important commercial zone and its trade enriched European civilization and its merchants developed the most important premodern mercantile innovations, from maritime insurance contracts and partnership agreements to the bill of exchange and double‐entry bookkeeping. Emerging from literate and numerate cultures, these merchants left behind an abundance of records that allows us to understand how their companies, especially the largest of them, were organized and managed.

A Gorizia sospese anche le corse DIRETTI A CASA in partenza dalle sedi scolastiche. Rimane attivo il servizio di collegamento con navetta CIP/istituti ORARIO VALIDO DAL 01.02.2021 Potenziamento dei servizi per il rientro a scuola in sicurezza In accordo con la Regione FVG, le Prefetture e le istituzioni scolastiche, TPL FVG ha predisposto un piano differenziato per aree geografiche e poli scolastici che prevede il potenziamento dei servizi di trasporto secondo quanto previsto dalle disposizioni nazionali e regionali in merito alla capienza dei mezzi e alla percentuale della didattica in presenza per le scuole secondarie. L’obiettivo del piano è quello di permettere a tutti gli studenti di raggiungere il proprio istituto e rientrare a casa in piena sicurezza. A disposizione di ciascun polo scolastico viene messo così un numero di corse sufficiente a garantire il rispetto della capienza massima dei mezzi prevista sia negli orari di ingresso e sia negli orari di uscita. Ricordiamo che, secondo quanto previsto dalle disposizioni attualmente in vigore, la capienza massima consentita a bordo degli bus è fissata al 50% dei passeggeri trasportabili (indicati a bordo di ciascuna vettura). Di conseguenza, per coprire tutti i servizi aggiuntivi necessari a garantire il viaggio in sicurezza, alcune corse verranno effettuate con autobus turistici. In fermata è quindi necessario prestare la massima attenzione: i bus in arrivo potrebbero essere diversi da quelli consueti di APT ma riporteranno sempre sul parabrezza un cartello identificativo TPLFVG-APT con l’indicazione della linea.

    Market/Place: Studies in (Genoa) Italy This paper examines market influences on higher education, architectural edu- cation and place through a consideration of study abroad in Italy, including educational tourism and “edutainment” as (unspoken) components of mar- keting for study abroad programs which also benefit the home university. But within the attraction that Italy offers and as a complement to the presumed value of its traditional justifications, there is the possibility of relevant con- temporary critical inquiry of local and global themes that can meaningfully affect students’ understandings of their home culture and how they approach architectural practices in the 21st century. This is particularly so in the case of architectural study in Genoa, which exploits Italy as the draw but offers unexpected life experiences and learning opportunities on issues of moder- nity and contemporaneity in complex urban, social and cultural situations.
