Making Money ventures boldly into multiple domains of sixteenth-century life, offering insightful comments on cosmetics, alchemy, Scholastic philosophy, social mobility, monarchical propaganda, the Pleiade poets, William Cecil, John Locke, Pierre Corneille, New Comedy, and much else. In its exuberant intellectual abundance, Making Money occasionally seems to be channeling the spirit of the sixteenth century itself., "Making Money in Sixteenth-Century France is an erudite, ambitious, multidimensional analysis of the many little-understood complexities and consequences of 'money' that provides compelling insights into a central intersection of early modern politics, economics, society, and culture."--Julie Hardwick, University of Texas at Austin, author of Family Business: Litigation and the Political Economies of Daily Life in Early Modern France, Making Money in Sixteenth-Century France will be an important and invaluable reference for anyone working in early modern economic history. It is ambitious in its analysis, engagingly written, and wide ranging. The great strength of the book, in addition to its history of economic thought, is Parsons' astute weaving of different strands of sociological literature and unstudied archival material. In that account, his anlaysis achieves the right balance between breadth and depth.

Synopsis
Coinage and currency?abstract and socially created units of value and power?were basic to early modern society. By controlling money, the people sought to understand and control their complex, expanding, and interdependent world. In Making Money in Sixteenth-Century France , Jotham Parsons investigates the creation and circulation of currency in France. The royal Cour des Monnaies centralized monetary administration, expanding its role in the emerging modern state during the sixteenth century and assuming new powers as an often controversial repository of theoretical and administrative expertise. The Cour des Monnaies , Parsons shows, played an important role in developing the contemporary understanding of money, as a source of both danger and opportunity at the center of economic and political life. More practically, the Monnaies led generally successful responses to the endemic inflation of the era and the monetary chaos of a period of civil war. Its work investigating and prosecuting counterfeiters shone light into a picaresque world of those who used the abstract and artificial nature of money for their own ends. Parsons's broad, multidimensional portrait of money in early modern France also encompasses the literature of the age, in which money's arbitrary and dangerous power was a major theme., Coinage and currency--abstract and socially created units of value and power--were basic to early modern society.

- 2***0 (128)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéShipping was quick, packaging was excellent, condition was acceptable as described -- binding loose but pages intact. I did message buyer asking about mold and didn't receive a reply -- luckily, there appears to be no mold. Great value for a 100+ yr old book!
- a***p (8)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéI received my book in absolutely pristine condition, better than described! Which is impressive because the copy is from 1930 and it looks like it has never been handled. It shipped very quickly, even faster than the estimated time given by a week. It was packaged very carefully. The book and shipping price was also very fair considering the age and condition of the book and the shipping speed. I am very pleased with this seller and will be ordering from them again in the future.All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque HC 1930 (#396258036329)
