Money And Markets Av Julian Hoppit, Duncan Needham, Adrian Leonard

<p>Money and Markets celebrates Martin Daunton's distinguished career by bringing together essays from leading economic, financial, social and cultural historians, many being colleagues and former students. Throughout his career, Daunton has 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 the longer-term economic consequences of Sir Robert Peel. There are also chapters on the City of London, Conservative fiscal policy from the 1960s to the 1980s, the impact of neoliberal, American 'workfare' concepts on welfare policy in the 1980s, and the political economy of time in Britain since
