@FADCLDN @joefrancis505 Most of this is just based on names, but we did look for in-laws for a sub-set and they life the level a bit but less than you'd expect.

What London's guilds did for their members changed a lot between 1500 and 1700. We find that the people that Londoners trusted were often fellow guild members around 1500.

@joefrancis505 not helping out, I guess - probably because they were not around so much. London was a city of migrants, and until it grew bigger, kin were rare...

@phwallis I might not be understanding the graph well, but what exactly were family members doing to each other in the 15th century? 😬

Big shout to the thirteen @LSEEcHist undergraduate student coauthors who helped create this paper! #lse #econhist cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Why? Two big things hit the city - the reformation and explosive growth. Both probably matter. But the loss of spiritual community seems likely to affect trust - and social capital particularly.

150 years later the guild didn't mater much. Instead family and neighbours were trusted. You can read more in the Historical Journal doi:10.1017/S0018246X24000335

The book provides an exciting array of case studies and a promising purpose: going beyond the guild debate around the beneficial or harmful effects of guild apprenticeship, according to @AndreaCaracausi in this bookreview in TSEG tseg.nl/article/view/1…
