THIS BOOK EXPLORES THE CHANGING BOUNDARIES AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
MARKET AND STATE FROM THE SEVENTEENTH TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
_Money and Markets_ celebrates Martin Daunton's distinguished career
by bringing together essays from leading economic, social and cultural
historians, many being colleagues and former students. Throughout his
career, Dauntonhas focused on the relationship between structure and
agency, how institutional structures create capacities and path
dependencies, and how institutions are themselves shaped by agency and
contingency - what Braudel referred to as 'turning the hour glass
twice'.
This volume reflects that focus, combining new research on the
financing of the British fiscal-military state before and during the
Napoleonic wars, its property institutions, and thelonger-term
economic consequences of Sir Robert Peel. There are also chapters on
the birth of the Eurodollar market, Conservative fiscal policy from
the 1960s to the 1980s, the impact of neoliberalism on welfare policy
and more broadly, the failed attempt to build an airport in the Thames
Estuary in the 1970s, and the political economy of time in Britain
since 1945. While much of the focus is on Britain, and British finance
in a global economy, the volumealso reflects Daunton's more recent
study of international political economy with essays on the French
contribution to nineteenth-century globalization, Prussian state
finances at the time of the 1848 revolution, Imperial German monetary
policy, the role of international charity in the mixed economy of
welfare and neoliberal governance, and the material politics of energy
consumption from the 1930s to the 1960s.
