It illustrates clearly how influences such as the Black\nDeath, inter-European warfare, climate change and a bullion famine occasioned\nsevere and prolonged economic decline across fifteenth century England. Early\nchapters discuss trends in lending and borrowing, and the use of credit to fund\ndomestic trade through detailed analysis of the Statute Staple and rich primary\nsources. The author then adopts a broad-based geographic lens to examine\nprovincial credit before focusing on London’s development as the commercial powerhouse\nin late medieval business. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\nAcademics and students of modern economic change and historic\nfinancial revolutions alike will see that the years from 1353 to\n1532 encompassed immense upheaval and change, reminiscent of modern recessions.\nThe author carefully guides the reader to see that these shifts arethe\nprecursors of economic change in the early modern period, laying the\nfoundations for the financial world as we know it today.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137489852\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-48987-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 277\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752432398476,"sku":"9781137489852","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137489852.jpg?v=1775919672","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137489852","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
