In post-Brexit Europe, it has never been more important to understand who benefits from the European Union and its Single Market. In this innovative approach to the history of European integration, Grace Ballor reconstructs the creation of the Single Market in the 1980s and 1990s through the lens of multinational business. She both shows how policymakers viewed big business as an ally in market integration and uncovers the diverse responses of European companies, ranging from enthusiastic support for the market to opposition to its attendant social and environmental policies. Drawing on institutional and corporate archives and interviews with key policymakers and business leaders, Ballor demonstrates how businesses adapted their strategies to the new realities of integration and how these adaptations in turn shaped international markets. This is essential reading for anyone wishing to make sense of contemporary European economics and the complex relationships between business and policymaking, economy and society.

This Element argues that settlers from Western Europe shaped European state formation and transformed the political and economic fate of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia between 800 and 1800. While existing work on European colonization focuses on overseas settlers, and studies of Europe's development tend to concentrate on the continent's western regions, the Element highlights a significant internal wave of settlement from Western to Eastern and Northern Europe. Beginning around 1100 and tapering off after 1400, this settler movement spurred economic development and the spread of local self-government across Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. Settlers also provided institutional templates that local rulers adapted in their efforts to build states. These rulers were increasingly compelled to bargain with politically autonomous and large cities. Over time, the emergence of new states in Eastern Europe intensified geopolitical competition across the continent.

This book, the second in a two-volume work resulting from a 2018 conference organized by the International Railway History Association (IRHA), examines the relationship between the railways and the First World War from a global theoretical, methodological and geographical perspective.Although World War I (1914-1918) has been studied extensively from virtually every angle, the question of the railways has not been the subject of robust historical interest, despite their crucial role in every respect and at every stage. The war forced the railways to adopt more efficient techniques more quickly than they would have done in peacetime, to the extent where military operations would not have been possible without their massive and multifaceted help. This collection of essays brings together specialists in the field from a broad range of disciplines and backgrounds to demonstrate how this topic is integral to understanding the developments of European and world history throughout the 1910s and 1920s.Railways in the First World War will be a useful tool for students, scholars and non-specialist readers interested in the history of transport, the history of the First World War and World history.

Helling, Benjamin D. R. / Spoerri Butcher, M. et al. (eds.), Roman Coin Hoards Across Frontiers. (Oxford Studies on the Roman Economy) 480 pp. 2026:6 (Oxford U. Pr., UK) <761-406>

The spread of Roman coins and their imitations, from Ireland to Thailand, reaches well beyond a modern political map of the Roman provinces. Roman Coin Hoards Across Frontiers provides a broad survey of hoarding of Roman coins beyond the Roman Empire from c. 30 BC to AD 518 and its relevance to our understanding of the commercial, political, and cultural connections between Rome and its neighbours, near and far. Written by nineteen international scholars, it draws on data gathered for the Coin Hoards of the Roman Empire Project, an online database cataloguing all known Roman coin hoards. The volume starts with select studies on aspects of deposition within the Empire, followed by regional analyses covering Southern Scandinavia, Germany, and Eastern Europe, as well as the eastern part of the Roman Empire and its adjacent regions, from the Caucasus up to India. The last section looks outside the Roman hoard evidence itself, offering insights from a later period in the Viking north and from metallurgy. The concluding chapter provides an analysis of the key literary textual evidence for the export of coin outside the Empire. By studying the full reach of Roman material culture beyond the frontiers through the lens of coin hoards, this book reveals the nature of Roman imperialism, the importance of commerce, and the significance of borders.

Kim, Jeongmin, Black Market Intimacies: The Transpacific Sexual Economy of the Korean War. 280 pp. 2026:6 (Stanford U. Pr., US) <761-408>

Black Market Intimacies reveals how illicit exchanges of money and commodities involving sexual encounters between Korean and Japanese women and US soldiers provided the material foundations of the regional economy across Korea and Japan during the Korean War. Against the conventional view that illicit exchanges exist outside the formal economy and legal regulations, Jeongmin Kim examines how the interlinked markets for transactional sex and goods crucially constituted the transpacific formation of US military base capitalism in post-World War II East Asia. Going beyond what is commonly categorized as prostitution and violence in Cold War archives, Kim weaves together stories from the myriads of mundane records scattered around multilingual archives to document larger transnational webs of the war economy. From Korean women who brought camel blankets and whiskey to local markets in Seoul, to middle-aged Okinawan women dealing in US military notes, Kim uncovers the crucial roles that local women played in circulating war supplies and currency across the region through their sexual and intermediary labor. The result is an intimate and global history of the Korean War that urges us to rethink the often-antithetical relationship between sexual intimacy and market economies in the context of war and occupation.

Traces China's transformations with a focus on China's incorporation process in the nineteenth century, which help to grasp the historical origins of China's capitalism.As Europe's colonial powers reached China in the nineteenth century, they became so strong that China could no longer ignore them. Given that the unprecedented geographical expansion of the European system undermined a China-centered world order and brought unprecedented changes to Chinese society, an intriguing question-why and how the Chinese empire entered into the capitalist world economy-has attracted increasing attention among historians, historical sociologists, and world-systems researchers. Yet, there has been no comprehensive monograph touching on China's incorporation process into the capitalist world-economy. To rectify this, The Road Taken investigates China's incorporation process. Incorporation studies, based on world-systems analysis, aims to illustrate the long-term integration process of external arenas into the capitalist world-economy. Ru traces China's transformations with a focus on how incorporation process unfolded over the course of a century (1780s-1890s), which represents a watershed era in the relations between China and the capitalist world.

Administration and Economy in Early Babylonian Society presents an analytical edition of 65 previously unpublished cuneiform tablets and bullae from the Ur III period (2112-2004 BC), currently held in the Theodore M. Hesburgh Library at the University of Notre Dame. Carefully transliterated, translated, and annotated, these texts are made available for the first time, offering fresh material for research not only in Ur III studies and Assyriology but also in economic history, social anthropology, and the study of early bureaucratic systems. The tablets provide detailed records of Ur III administrative practices, economic organization, and daily operations. They cover agricultural management, including field maintenance, irrigation systems, and the production of crops from orchards and date groves. Additional documents shed light on livestock administration, craft production, labour allocation (including lists of workers and their supervisors), food preparation, and the transportation of goods. Collectively, they reveal the intricate mechanisms that sustained one of Mesopotamia's earliest centralized states. Beyond institutional structures, these texts illuminate the lives of individuals--scribes recording transactions, overseers managing workforces, and labourers fulfilling their duties--offering a human dimension to our understanding of Ur III society. The volume combines rigorous philological analysis with historical interpretation, ensuring reliability for specialists while remaining accessible to non-specialists interested in comparative studies of early complex societies.

Analysing Soviet economic history through the lens of Marx's critique of political economy, this book argues that the Soviet Union was a young capitalist country and, further, explains the collapse of the Soviet Union as the result of a capitalist crisis.This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Soviet economy through a Marxist lens, and provides a digestible definition of the capitalist mode of production according to Marx, refuting criticism of his thought based on association with the USSR. This book also refutes other theories about the Soviet Union, such as the theory of a degenerated workers' state, theories of the Soviet Union having a new mode of production, and even other theories of capitalist USSR, as inadequate because they take the Soviet economy to be 'superior' in some way and therefore cannot explain the Soviet economy's collapse. The goal is not to unearth, collect, and present new data on the Soviet economy but, rather, a Marxist analysis of the Soviet economy based on a synthesis of existing empirical studies. In doing so, the books shines a light on the political debate around the nature of the USSR.The book will be of interest to academic and non-academic Marxists alike in economics, politics, sociology, history and beyond.

Despite the 'return of financial crises' since the end of the Bretton Woods era, a new generation of bankers hardly had any experience or any memory of a previous systemic financial crisis. The events of summer 2007 prompted investors, CEOs, and regulators to investigate the past to understand the present and foresee the future. The 2008 financial crisis strengthened the need to place financial crises in long-term historical perspectives, establish parallels, and make comparisons. Such comparisons, however, have remained sparse and generally reduced past financial crises to stylized facts in a quest for lessons that could be drawn rather than analysed their specifics. This book is a contribution of history to the study of financial crises, with a focus on whether and how the memory of previous crises has persisted, faded, or changed over time. Intertwining memory and narrative representations of the reality, it investigates the reasons why some crises have been selectively remembered and others apparently forgotten. It does so with a focus on the new era of financial instability that followed the end of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates in 1973 - a period marked by a series of financial crises (1974, 1982, 1987, 1997, among others); economic, political, and cultural changes (globalization, deregulation, formalized mathematical economics), and culminating in the global financial crisis of 2008.

The fascinating and wide-ranging history of vanilla, from the sixteenth century to today Vanilla is one of the most expensive of flavorings-so valuable that it was smuggled or stolen by pirates in the early days-and yet it is everywhere. It is a key ingredient in dishes ranging from creme brulee to Japanese purin. It is the quintessential ice cream flavor in the United States. Eric T. Jennings explains how the world's only edible orchid, originally endemic to Central America, became embedded in the international culinary and cultural landscape. In tracing vanilla's rise, Jennings describes how in the 1840s an enslaved boy named Edmond Albius discovered a way to pollinate vanilla orchids with a toothpick or needle-an ingenious process that is still in use. This method transformed the vanilla sector by enabling the plant to be grown outside of its natural range. Jennings also looks at how the vanilla craze led to the search for now-pervasive substitutes, and how a vanilla lobby has fought back. He further unravels how vanilla-the world's most expensive crop and once considered its most refined fragrance-came to mean "bland." This tale of botany, production techniques, consumption habits, and colonial rivalry connects the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, revealing how vanilla has become a potent symbol of the modern global village.
