Latin American Economic History: An Introduction to Daily Life, Debt, and Development guides readers through significant features and developments in the region's economic history from independence through 2022.In approachable language, the book introduces readers to relevant New Economic History concepts and explains important characteristics of Latin America, such as the region's high volatility, rapid urbanization experience, the continued prominence of commodities, and its culture of informality. The volume provides explicit connections between culture, politics, and economics over five distinct time periods. Readers will learn how Cinco de Mayo featured into foreign debt repayments in the 19th century, how novels like Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude reflected on the expansion of railroads during a period of export-led growth, and how a United States federal reserve interest hike in 1979 sent the region into the Lost Decade. When considered collectively, the region's economic trajectory demonstrates that development does not always accompany economic growth.This is an accessible introductory text with clear definitions and discussions of relevant economic concepts, which will be a valuable resource for students of Latin American economic, cultural, and political history.

Ein Europa uberraschendes deutsch-oesterreichisches Zollunionsprojekt, eine existenzielle Bankenkrise und ein Putschversuch rechter Paramilitars gegen die parlamentarische Demokratie pragen Oesterreich 1931, dem Jahr, in dem sich der Niedergang der Ersten Republik dramatisch beschleunigt. Drei krisenhafte Ereignisse, die 1931 Oesterreichs Souveranitat, wirtschaftliche Existenz und parlamentarische Demokratie gefahrden, fungieren als Analysevehikel, um ? anstelle der abstrakten, metaphorisch konstruierten Akteure Weltwirtschaftskrise, Not oder Schicksal ? fur den Niedergang verantwortliche Personen und Institutionen aus Politik, Administration, Wirtschaft, Paramilitars, Presse etc., sowie Narrative und Orte der Macht sichtbar zu machen. Bisher nur partiell genutzte Quellen wie die Protokolle der Ministerratstreffen, des zentralen Kommunikationsforums der Regierung, und entscheidender Parlamentssitzungen sowie diverse Printmedien ermoeglichen neue Einblicke zu den Ereignissen, die raumlich weit uber Oesterreich und zeitlich weit uber 1931 in Vergangenheit und Zukunft hinausragen.

This book explores coinage and related object types as an important form of material culture that is crucial to interrogating interactions between coloniser and colonised.Money, Coinage and Colonialism is a much overdue treatment of coinage and money in debates around ancient and recent colonial practices. It argues that coinage offers unique opportunities to study interactions and effects of the meeting between colonisers and colonised, as well as the economic, political and ideological interactions between colonial communities and the state of origin. It is argued that the study of coins and other means of exchange may reveal less apparent and under-communicated processes, values and discourses in the study of colonial environments and projects, with commonalities informing a larger ?global history? approach. A broad picture is built from numerous case studies, spanning from Classical Greek colonies to European colonial enterprises of the Modern period, exploring colonial histories, settings, ideology and resistance. Particular attention is paid to the role of coins in identity construction; to ambiguity, hybridity and creolisation of monetary objects in colonial contexts; and to specific uses of coins that tell of violence, oppression and resistance as well as of networks, acculturation and globalisation.Composed of chronologically broad and diverse case studies from colonial contexts, this book is for researchers in colonial and post-colonial archaeology as well as archaeological and cultural-historical numismatics.

This book analyses the development of the rice trade in Asia since 1945.This book focuses on the three historically important exporters Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam and the two key importers Indonesia and the Philippines. The book addresses the impacts of several major transitions during this period on the rice trade in these nations, namely their initial recovery post-war, the political turbulence during and following the independence struggles of these nations, and the impact of the Vietnam war. It also tracks the fluctuating impact of the various El Nino/ Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climatic events across the period on harvest and exports, for example in events such as the rice crisis of 1973-75.Using data from the London Rice Brokers' Association Circular to create a detailed narrative of the rice trade, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian history, economic history and economic development in post-war Asia.

This book provides a unique insight into the world of commodity trading companies, often depicted as the hidden companies of the global economy and showcases how they were instrumental in bringing about the economic integration of new commodities and far-flung regions into the first global economy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.The late nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented phase of global economic integration. As organisers of global trade, trading companies specialising in commodities were instrumental in creating this first global economy. From soybeans to cultural artefacts, from seal hides to rubber, trading companies connected far-flung regions at or beyond the frontier of empires to a growing global market for these commodities. Satisfying the unsatiable appetite for commodities of industrializing economies in North America, Europe and East Asia, their nimble organisations and specialised trading skills allowed trading companies to harness imperial geopolitics, latch onto local networks and move across borders. This book brings together a collection of case studies of commodity trading companies across a range of commodities and regions between the 1870s and the 1930s. Through the lens of global value chains, the contributions showcase how these companies continuously adapted their businesses to a world that was at once economically more integrated but politically increasingly competitive in this age of high imperialism and national competition.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Business History.
