Jenseits von Handel und Hochfinanz: Investitionen frühneuzeitlicher Kaufmannsdynastien im Vergleich
Book information
Description
In the economic context, "investment" is understood as the use of capital for economic projects. Investments of early modern economic elites, however, went far beyond this – with expenditures for landed estates, foundations, buildings, and the promotion of artists and scholars. This volume systematically and comparatively investigates this aspect for selected merchant dynasties.
