  • Struensee's Ghost: Narratives of Pascal Paoli and Ebenezer Richardson in Philadelphian Newspapers, 1767
    O’Donnell 1 Struensee’s Ghost: Narratives of Pascal Paoli and Ebenezer Richardson in Philadelphian Newspapers, 1767 – 1776 In Copenhagen, January 1772, a revolution occurred in Denmark. The country rejected German culture and embarked on a new programme of re-discovering and redefining the Danish people.1 The Revolution was precipitated by the arrest of Count Johann Friedrich Struensee. Since 1771, Struensee had been the court favourite, Royal Secretary, and personal physician to the Danish King, Christian VII. He was eventually executed in April 1772 for treason and lèse-majesté, convicted of signing the King’s name without due authority.2 He had become a particularly noisome figure in Danish politics by heedlessly pursuing a modernising agenda of abolishing traditional privileges in favour of enlightened rule. And like other attempts in European courts, these ‘rational’ innovations were not greeted enthusiastically. Struensee first surrounded himself with a select group of cronies then systematically isolated himself from the court, along the way incurring the wrath of merchants, burghers, and industrialists. Struensee finally pressed his enlightened reform too far when he ordered the dissolution of the Royal Guards. By 1772 Struensee was protected only by the Queen, with whom he was having an illicit sexual relationship, and the King, who had long suffered from a deteriorating and dissociative mental illness –thought either to be schizophrenia or porphyria and probably not caused by excessive masturbation as Struensee himself diagnosed.3 When Struensee’s ministry was toppled, the old court party made the Queen Dowager Juliana regent, and the King’s half brother Frederick her Prime Minister – this was the Revolution.

The name Gulden was used on Austrian (German-language) banknotes, whilst the name Florin was used on Austrian coins and forint was used on the Hungarian banknotes and coins. With the introduction of the Conventionsthaler in 1754, the Gulden was defined as half a Conventionsthaler, equivalent to 1/20 of a Cologne mark of silver and subdivided into 60 Kreuzer. The Gulden became the standard unit of account in the Hapsburg Empire and remained so until 1892 (Wikipedia).

  • 1 Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521632277 - The Logic of Regional Integration: Europe and Beyond Walter Mattli Excerpt More information 1 Introduction 1 The phenomenon of regional integration Regional integration schemes have multiplied in the past few years and the importance of regional groups in trade, money, and politics is increasing dramatically. Regional integration, however, is no new phenomenon. Examples of StaatenbuÈnde, Bundesstaaten, Eidgenossen- schaften, leagues, commonwealths, unions, associations, pacts, confed- eracies, councils and their like are spread throughout history. Many were established for defensive purposes, and not all of them were based on voluntaryassent. This book looks at a particular set of regional integration schemes. The analysis covers cases that involve the voluntary linking in the economic and political domains of two or more formerly independent states to the extent that authorityover keyareas of national policyis shifted towards the supranational level. The ®rst major voluntaryregional integration initiatives appeared in the nineteenth century. In 1828, for example, Prussia established a customs union with Hesse-Darmstadt. This was followed successively bythe Bavaria WuÈrttemberg Customs Union, the Middle German Commercial Union, the German Zollverein, the North German Tax Union, the German MonetaryUnion, and ®nallythe German Reich. This wave of integration spilled over into what was to become Switzer- land when an integrated Swiss market and political union were created in 1848. It also brought economic and political union to Italyin the risorgimento movement. Integration fever again struck Europe in the last decade of the nineteenth century, when numerous and now long- forgotten projects for European integration were concocted. In France, Count Paul de Leusse advocated the establishment of a customs union in agriculture between Germanyand France, with a common tariff bureau in Frankfurt.1 Other countries considered for membership were Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Spain.

  • German Hyperinflation Zach Urbytes Economics Colloquium Dr
    German Hyperinflation Zach Urbytes Economics Colloquium Dr. Herbener 12/4/2020 Economies may deteriorate for many reasons, some novel and some downfalls would be less difficult to predict. One such cause of economic downturn is the occurrence of a phenomenon of hyperinflation. Hyperinflation is a particular instance where prices are increasing at an out of control rate, and money is being continually printed. The vast devaluation of a given currency along with the increasing amounts of money in the given economy results in people acting in very strange ways with respect to a normally functioning economy. These features commonly associated with hyperinflation do little more than simply describe what occurs during such a crisis. Many definitions exist of what precisely constitutes hyperinflation, but perhaps the most cited and most widely used definition as well as the consensus definition comes from Phillip Cagan in his 1956 paper on hyperinflation. He states that to consider a given economic situation hyperinflation, the event starts with a price-level increase of 50% or more within a month. The event ends when there have been more than 12 consecutive months of the price level not increasing by 50% or more (Cagan 1956). There is of course debate about Cagan’s use of his own metric, as he did not consider certain instances of hyperinflation as such. The most accurate list of hyperinflation crises has been compiled by Steve Hanke and Nicholas Krus in their “World Hyperinflations” paper from August of 2012. This paper cites 56 instances of hyperinflation. The usual metric used to measure the rate of inflation is a consumer price index.

  • Introduction MARY LINDEMANN and JARED POLEY
    Introduction MARY LINDEMANN AND JARED POLEY he European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the Inter- Tnational Monetary Fund agreed in May 2010 to provide a package of EUR 110 billion meant to provide financial assistance to Greece. More than EUR 22 billion of those came from Germany. This so-called first bailout (a second bailout package followed in 2012 and a third, worth EUR 86 billion, in August 2015), which was meant to confront the Greek government-debt crisis brought on by the housing bubble and the global recession, revealed the eco- nomic and political fault lines of the European Union and the eurozone. The bailout was represented in the German popular-right press as a catastrophe. Bild bluntly counseled in its headline of 27 October 2010: “Sell your islands, you bankrupt Greeks . and the Acropolis too!” [“Verkauft doch eure Inseln, ihr Pleite-Griechen . und die Akropolis gleich mit!”].1 German Chancellor Angela Merkel took a different line, indicating the importance of financial stability to the continued political dream of Europe. “The euro is our common fate,” Merkel argued in December 2010, “and Europe is our common future.”2 Those ideals would be tested repeatedly over the next five years, in the debates about whether a third bailout package should be extended to Greece. Merkel promoted the value of a unified Europe, but as she explained in a speech to the Bundestag, while the euro may have indeed created a European Schicksals­ gemeinschaft—a community of fate—it nonetheless demanded a political vision of Europe that was also founded as a Rechts­ und Verantwortungsgemeinschaft, a community of law and responsibility.3 Money, these developments made clear, was the foundation and the lubricant of the New Europe.

It would be absurd to suppose that a History of Germany could be written within the compass of 300 pages. The merest outline is all that could be given in this little book, and very much of vast interest and im- portance has necessarily been omitted. But some knowledge of the political events of former days is necessary for all persons—more especially trav- ellers—who desire to understand and appreciate the customs, buildings, paintings, etc., of any country, and it is hoped that short continental histories may be useful to many who have not time or opportunity for closer study. My aim in the present volume has been simply to give one marked characteristic of each King or Emperor's reign, so as to fix it in the memory; and to show how Prussia came to hold its present position of importance amongst the continental powers of Europe. Emily Hawtrey. iiL BOOK I. HISTORY OF GERMANY. INTRODUCTION. CHAPTER I. The mighty Teutonic or German race in Europe did not begin to play its part in history until the decline of the Roman Empire ; but we must all of us feel the warm- est interest in it when it does begin, for it represents not only the central history of Europe in the Middle Ages, but also the rise of our own forefathers in their home and birthplace of Germany.

Glasgow: 54 QUEEN STREET. Copyright 1901 for all Countries. INTRODUCTION. BOOK of National Songs and Dances on popular lines has for long been a desideratum, and A the present work is an attempt to fill the void on a more comprehensive scale than has hitherto been accomplished. It is, therefore, the first collection of a fairly representative kind which deals with every important country in the world, and is not restricted simply to pianoforte arrangements of national hymns. The first purpose of the work is to give a large series of the Royal or People's Songs of all the principal nationalities, so that the question so constantly asked—What is the national song of Poland, Greece, Austria, Holland, Japan, or the United States? as the case may be, can be answered at once. Another aim has been to collect some of the most characteristic specimens of the Folk Songs, or Popular Music of each country, whereby the general public as well as musicians can obtain an idea of the differences which exist between, say, Irish, Arabian, Hindu, and Russian music. A third object has been to preserve examples of the leading National Dances in an easily accessible form, to enable even the most elementary musical student to obtain a slight knowledge of the differences in, and structure of, a reel, waltz, mazurka, or scalp-dance of the Dakota Indians.

The same was also pursued in Europe by a few men, among whom Beccaria particularly distinguished himself. Hell, too, was occupied ex- actly during this time by similar physical experiments and thoughts, but he never made them public. Several souls may possess the power of in- venting the same thing, but the circumstances do not assist the one as they do the other. […] The indefatigable Frantz appointed there [at the Viennese university observatory] Hell as director, and the tower owes its shape and arrangement to him. Why can such sons of the fatherland not have scope for their labors in their field here at home? Even if great minds are born to us, it is other lands that benefit from them. When Hell gave lessons in mechanics, so as to raise skilled and clever artists and crafts- men for Vienna, it was not our people who made progress. gábor döbrentei, “Hell Maximilián élete” (The life of Maximilian Hell), in Erdé- lyi Muzéum (Pest: Trattner, 1817), 8:90, 91–92 … In the life of this man, we see a happy coincidence of circumstances un- der which his faculties and powers could be developed and perfected, and which earned him reputation among the mathematicians and as- tronomers of our times. The future preoccupations of his mind were pre- saged early on; his mind received a clear direction already in his tender youth, and the various situations in which Hell was later placed provided him with an opportunity to pursue this unhindered, and to earn himself everlasting merits with the perfection of his science.
