@nunopgpalma Apart from Spain - 1st receiver - nearly all other European fiscal-military states developed manufacturing early on, substituting for lack of native precious metal resources. This drive toward industry is manifest in early modern Cameralist / mercantilist political economy.

Our findings place West Europe’s second-stage receivers in a particularly fortunate goldilocks zone that enjoyed monetary injections, while being insulated against the transport-loss induced financial crises (and resource curse) that caused damage to first-stage receiver Spain.

3/3: ernst gemeinte Frage: haben männliche, ältere Professoren diese Sorgen nicht (mehr)? Wie soll ich mich verhalten?

#Professorinnen sind auch nur Menschen. Ich starte hier einen neuen Hashtag und werde dazu in loser Folge strukturelle und anderweitige Probleme des Arbeitsfeldes als Professorin aufzeigen. Über Austausch würde ich mich sehr freuen.

@pseudoerasmus @nunopgpalma @joefrancis505 @dkedrosky @antonhowes This raises another important point & debate among (some) Econ historians: In the Quantity Theory of Money, does credit belong to M or V? Important in determining monetary impacts of a simultaneous decline of credit and "hard cash"

Here's my latest post! Did London's extraordinary rise rely on an influx of bullion? And the ways in which financial innovations - from bills of exchange, to a 1611 attempt at a financial platform - tried to make the coin go further. antonhowes.substack.com/p/age-of-inven…

@pseudoerasmus @nunopgpalma @joefrancis505 @dkedrosky @antonhowes nice one! The traditional view (Braudel; Devine, Tobacco Lords) would be that merchants don't really need hard cash for business and profits to flourish. Depends on the nature, depth and quality of the financial networks they operate in (bills of exchange, usances, rates)
