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.

  • China, Das Chinesische Meer Und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia
    China, das Chinesische Meer und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia Horses of the Xianbei, 300–600 AD: A Brief Survey Shing MÜLLER1 iNTRODUCTION The Chinese cavalry, though gaining great weight in warfare since Qin and Han times, remained lightly armed until the fourth century. The deployment of heavy armours of iron or leather for mounted warriors, especially for horses, seems to have been an innovation of the steppe peoples on the northern Chinese border since the third century, as indicated in literary sources and by archaeological excavations. Cavalry had become a major striking force of the steppe nomads since the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 AD, thus leading to the warfare being speedy and fierce. Ever since then, horses occupied a crucial role in war and in peace for all steppe riders on the northern borders of China. The horses were selectively bred, well fed, and drilled for war; horses of good breed symbolized high social status and prestige of their owners. Besides, horses had already been the most desired commodities of the Chinese. With superior cavalries, the steppe people intruded into North China from 300 AD onwards,2 and built one after another ephemeral non-Chinese kingdoms in this vast territory. In this age of disunity, known pain- fully by the Chinese as the age of Sixteen States (316–349 AD) and the age of Southern and Northern Dynas- ties (349–581 AD), many Chinese abandoned their homelands in the CentraL Plain and took flight to south of the Huai River, barricaded behind numerous rivers, lakes and hilly landscapes unfavourable for cavalries, until the North and the South reunited under the flag of the Sui (581–618 AD).3 Although warfare on horseback was practised among all northern steppe tribes, the Xianbei or Särbi, who originated from the southeastern quarters of modern Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, emerged as the major power during this period.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.Thc sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Pagc(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing pagc(s) or section, they arc spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page con be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If ncccssaiy, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • DESCENDANCY of THOMAS RICARDS (B C1595) and ELIZABETH RUGELEY (B C1599)
    “All-People” {Table of Contents} Page 11c- 1 DESCENDANCY of THOMAS RICARDS (b c1595) and ELIZABETH RUGELEY (b c1599) Note 1: material in smaller type is written by Barbara Ann Fisher (BFE), wife of Karl Frederick Edler Jr (KFE), while larger type material is primarily from our family history database maintained by KFE. Note 2: names of direct ancestors of KFE are underlined. Our Ricketts lineage is one of the most interesting we've studied. Efforts to reconstruct this ambitious English/Colonial family have been difficult and frustrating -- the early generations appear hopelessly tangled! But it's been more than worthwhile -- discovering that ancestors were in Jamaica has been a special delight for KFE's sister, Elizabeth Edler Wald. Having made many vacation trips there with her husband and children, she has long felt a strong Jamaican connection. We've become fascinated as well, trying to find as much as possible. Due to constraints of time and energy, we've had to use mostly secondary sources of information. Alas, there's great variation in what different authors allege; some documents are even inconsistent internally. Trips to Jamaica and other relevant places have been intriguing, but have sometimes resulted in more questions than answers. Trying to "sanity test" the data, we've eliminated some impossible assertions. As examples, we just can't believe a son was born only seven years after his father, and we think it most unlikely that an English person was born in Jamaica over twenty years before the Anglo-Spanish War. Because of our concerns, we urge you to read this page and the next several pages for interest only.

  • Jan Županič Re–Ennoblement and Nobility Issues at the Dawn of the Austro–Hungarian Empire
    Jan Županič Re–ennoblement and nobility issues at the dawn of the Austro–Hungarian Empire Przegląd Historyczny 100/1, 1-13 2009 ROZPRAWY JAN ŻUPANIC Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozoficka fakulta Ustav svétovych dejin Re-ennoblement and nobility issues at the dawn of the Austro-Hungarian Empire* Irrespective of the fact that there lived very affluent and influential nobility in the Crown Lands of Bohemia even in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the majority of the Czech nation was in fact plebeian. Unlike the Poles and the Hungarians, the Czechs could not boast a truly numerous noble elite, and this fact had some fascinating consequences. It was the nobility from the period prior to the battle at White Mountain (Bila hora), allegedly considered purely Czech from the ethnic and language point of view that was gradually becoming more glorified than the cosmopolitan Austrian aristocracy. It was, however, the rejection of nobility as such, a phenomenon that emerged significantly for the first time in 1848 that proved to have much greater meaning. Here we need to point out that this was not a purely Czech phenomenon but rather a phenomenon that was closely linked to democratization and liberalization trends in the then society. In Austria or Austro-Hungarian Empire this trend could be attributed to other causes than just the national fragmentation of the monarchy. Throughout the ages, the nobility had become a special caste significantly differing from the rest of the population. It had a number of privileges, some of which managed to outlive 1848. One of such privileges was the right to bear coats of arms.
