Money in the German-speaking Lands

Germany’s leading role in EU economic policy following the 2008 financial crisis is in a sense only the latest step in a long history of attempts at political unification through economic integration. This volume follows this trajectory in German-speaking lands from the late Renaissance until the close of the twentieth century.

“This volume, with the essays’ rich bibliographies, is an excellent resource for scholars and teachers of both undergraduates and graduate students who wish to engage in historical reflection on the issues [of money in German lands].” • German Studies Review

“This volume… offers much more than its narrowly framed title subject ‘money’ might imply… Although these essays range far and wide in pursuing German attitudes about wealth, there is also plenty of material here for readers interested in German economic and financial history.” • German History

“This fascinating collection of essays brings together empirical and theoretical case studies that are clear, accessible, and succinct. It also serves as an excellent primer on some of the most cutting-edge research on German history being undertaken by Anglophone scholars.” • Philipp Roessner, University of Manchester
