New article out, with co-authors: "Elite persistence and inequality in the Danish West Indies, 1760-1914"
We study this former slave-colony, and show how these Caribbean islands (current-day US Virgin Islands) were totally dominated by a small elite, controlling virtually all of the wealth on the islands. This elite was remarkably persistent - even when the enslaved population was emancipated.

Peter Ericsson and Patrik Winton's article in the last issue of #AnnalesHSS (https://social.sciences.re/@AnnalesHSS/113521760842829684) is already available in English as well.
➡️ Inequality Challenged and Restored. The Political Economy of War Finance in Sweden, c. 1715–1721
👉 https://doi.org/10.1017/ahsse.2024.12
The authors unveil how the monetary and fiscal reforms, enacted by an ambitious monarch to finance his many wars in the early 18th century, had an impact deep into Swedish society, even shaking its social hierarchies, until reaction brutally set them back.
A refreshing new look at the fiscal-military state of the early modern era.

⭐ The new political economy of the middle ages: a review essay of the medieval constitution of Liberty
"Having established that free cities developed the first truly modern market-friendly legal institutions, Salter and Young advance their most provocative claim: McCloskey (2010) gets the timing wrong on her Bourgeois Dignity thesis. Instead, Salter and Young (2023, pp. 202–206) argue that self-governing medieval cities cultivated bourgeois virtues and lent dignity to merchants in the High Middle Ages."

🔴 Applying a transaction cost perspective to decode viking Scandinavia’s earliest recorded value relation: insights from the forsa ring’s runic inscription
“The congruence in oxen valuation observed between Northern Sweden and 10th-century England is notably significant. It suggests the existence of a profoundly interwoven European institutional architecture of monetary relations that bridged considerable geographical expanses.”

The Export Of Capital To Colonies And The Falling Rate Of Profit In Economic Thought: 1776-1917
“The colonization of South Africa, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand was closely linked with European emigration. After 1870, colonization affected large areas of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific where the population remained overwhelmingly non-European (Bayly 2004). As an advocate of emigration writing in the 1830s, Wakefield argued that the main purpose of acquiring colonies was to extend the agricultural frontier by settling European farmers on previously uncultivated land.”

"Less appreciated, however, are the deep historical roots of this convergence process, and in particular of the spread of modern industry to the global periphery. This book fills this gap by providing a systematic, comparative, historical account of the spread of modern manufacturing beyond its traditional heartland, to Southern and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America, or what we call the poor periphery."
