The book deals with the characters and evolution of the European economy from the high Middle Ages until the start of modern growth in the 19th century. Europe is always set in a global context and the European specific features are analysed on the background of the world economy. The main aim of the book is to present a clear picture of the structure and organisation of the European pre-modern economy, specifying its features, institutions, constraints and differences with other traditional coeval economies. The path followed starts from the demographic characters, the techniques, the sectors (agriculture, trade, industry), the output, and continues with the demand side (consumption, investment, public expense). The last chapter recalls the main features of the pre-modern economy in a more formal way. The book is the only available work dealing with the formation of the European economy and its features over the long term, that is from the 10th until the 19th century.

Beeld, zelfbeeld en spiegelbeeld, dat zijn de drie thema's waaraan deze studie naar beeldvorming rond oudere vrouwen in het verleden is opgehangen. 'Beeld' zoomt in op enkele clichés van oudere vrouwen, stereotiep (bv. de kwade schoonmoeder) en minder stereotiep. Zo wordt onderzocht in hoeverre de vrouwbeelden uit de literatuur correspondeerden met de dagelijkse werkelijkheid. Op basis van egodocumenten wordt in 'zelfbeeld' bestudeerd hoe vrouwen over zichzelf schreven en hoe ze daarin hun eigenpersoonlijkheid evalueerden. Ook de waardering van het eigen gedrag komt aan bod. De relatie tussen beeld en zelfbeeld vormt de rode draad van het deel 'spiegelbeeld': hoe en in welke mate anticiperen vrouwen op het beeld dat ze denken dat anderen van hen hebben? Het boek is gebaseerd op ongebruikelijk materiaal zoals archieven van verzekeringsmaatschappijen of brieven van vrouwen aan de overheid en liefdadigheidsinstellingen. Gemeenschappelijke factor van deze bronnen is dat er een bepaald vrouwbeeld in naar voren komt, door de maatschappij gecreërd, dan wel door de vrouwen zelf naar voren gschoven.

This book demolishes the widely held view that the phrase 'medieval business' is an oxymoron. The authors review the entire range of business in medieval western Europe, probing its Roman and Christian heritage to discover the economic and political forces that shaped the organization of agriculture, manufacturing, construction, mining, transportation and marketing. Businessmen's responses to the devastating plagues, famines, and warfare that beset Europe in the late Middle Ages are equally well covered. Medieval businessmen's remarkable success in coping with this hostile new environment was 'a harvest of adversity' that prepared the way for the economic expansion of the sixteenth century. Two main themes run through this book. First, the force and direction of business development in this period stemmed primarily from the demands of the elite. Second, the lasting legacy of medieval businessmen was less their skillful adaptations of imported inventions than their brilliant innovations in business organization.

Building the Atlantic Empires explores the relationship between state recruitment of unfree labor and capitalist and imperial development. Contributors show Western European states as agents of capitalist expansion, imposing diverse forms of bondage on workers for infrastructural, plantation, and military labor. Extending the prolific literature on racial slavery, these essays help transcend imperial, colonial, geographic, and historiographic boundaries through comparative insights into multiple forms and ideologies of unfree labor as they evolved over the course of four centuries in the Dutch, French, English, Spanish, and Portuguese empires. The book raises new questions for scholars seeking connections between the history of servitude and slavery and the ways in which capitalism and imperialism transformed the Atlantic world and beyond. Contributors are: Pepijn Brandon, Rafael Chambouleyron, James Coltrain, John Donoghue, Karwan Fatah-Black, Elizabeth Heath, Evelyn P. Jennings, and Anna Suranyi. With a foreword by Peter Way.

Waarom doen mensen dingen die het leefmilieu beschadigen, terwijl ze er zich van bewust zijn? Waarom hebben bepaalde politici en industriebonzen nog de mond vol van economische groei, terwijl ze nu beter zouden moeten weten? En hoe kunnen activisten het tij keren zonder ontmoedigd te raken door doemberichten en dystopieën? Een antwoord op deze vragen vind je in het boekje 'De toekomst heroveren', een bundeling van twee essays van de Duitse sociaal-psycholoog Harald Welzer, onlangs uitgegeven door Oikos.

Wist u dat 30 procent van de private huurders na het betalen van hun huur te weinig overhoudt om menswaardig te leven? Dat 84 procent van alle woonsubsidies naar eigendomsondersteuning vloeit, 14 procent naar sociaal huren en 2 procent naar privaat huren? Dat ? We kunnen zo nog een tijdje doorgaan. Van experts tot middenveld, van de Vlaamse Woonraad tot economen en sociologen: al jaren zwaaien ze met die cijfers om uit te leggen dat het Vlaams woonbeleid achterhaald is. In De onzichtbare wooncrisis zal u die gegevens ook vinden. Maar Joy Verstichele van het Vlaams Huurdersplatform vertrekt in zijn boek vooral van de realiteit áchter de cijfers. Een verhaal over Isabelle en Gino die met een inkomen van 1.300 euro elke maand 650 euro ophoesten voor een slecht geïsoleerd huurhuis, over Bernard die na zes jaar wachten eindelijk naar een sociale woning kan en over Husain en Yusra die met hun drie kinderen in een driekamerappartement leven. Dit boek is ook een betoog over hoe we uit de wooncrisis kunnen raken en een menselijker en socialer woonbeleid kunnen voeren.(bron: https://www.epo.be/nl/sociaal-politiek/3640-de-onzichtbare-wooncrisis-9789462671515.html)

Trading Places is winner of the triennial Historical Research Award of Italy Studies (2012). This book deals with the Netherlandish merchant community in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Venice. It examines the merchants’ commercial activities, their social and communal relations, as well as their interaction with the Venetian state, which was accustomed to protect its own trade. The Netherlandish merchants in Venice, as part of an extensive international trading network, were ideally placed to connect Mediterranean and Atlantic commerce. They quickly became the most important group of foreign merchants in the city at a time of rapid economic changes. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources, this book shows how these immigrant traders used their strong commercial position to secure a place in Venice. It demonstrates how the changing balance of international commerce affected early modern Venetian society.
