Book excerpt: Between the seventeenth and the late eighteenth centuries, French political culture transformed from the absolutist politics of privilege and patronage to the politics of the public sphere. This transformation occurred, in large part, within state sponsored institutions. The French Council of Commerce, between 1700 and 1750, established a socially inclusive communication network spread across France in which negociants, merchants, artisans, and guilds discussed and debated specific economic policies. In this "governmentally controlled public sphere," French economic actors became politicized as they accustomed themselves to participatory policy-making in which they expected that their views would be considered. Through this network, the French state sought to centralize economic policy-making and nationalize economic policies, yet a tension existed between these political goals and the language in which these debates occurred. Early in the century, the language of ordre and privilege infused these debates, and the concerns of the state served as the basis of discussion. In the process of negotiating economic policies, however, the language of privilege reinforced the local provincialism which the state hoped to diminish. As the half century progressed, two new bases for economic policy-making, the public and the economy, developed in the discourse, and the language of economic liberty separated from the language of political privilege. In the 1750s, the communication network collapsed when new royal administrators, led by de Gournay and Trudaine, adopted a new language of policy-making which emphasized abstract economic liberty. Economic policy-making based upon abstract laws required far less consultation and negotiation in the creation of specific policies, and a politicized public had to seek new venues in which to debate publicly state economic policies. This argument is based upon a database created from the Council of Commerce records and a discursive analysis of the language used in the communication network and in two specific examples: French trade policy towards the Dutch during the War of Spanish Succession and the communicative practices and economic conflicts of the Ni mes hosiery guild.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kessler shows how the merchants who were associated with the court - and not just elite thinkers and royal reformers - played a key role in reconceptualizing commerce as the credit-fueled private exchange necessary to sustain the social order. Deploying this modern conception of commerce in a variety of contexts, ranging from litigation over negotiable instruments to corporatist battles for status and jurisdiction, these merchants contributed (largely inadvertently and to their ultimate regret) to the demise of corporatism as both conceptual framework and institutional practice. In so doing, they helped bring about the social and political revolution of 1789." "A Revolution in Commerce provides new insights into the rise of commercial modernity by demonstrating the remarkable role played by the law in ideological and institutional transformation."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Chaucer Gower Hoccleve and the Commercial Practices of Late Fourteenth Century London written by Craig E. Bertolet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As residents of fourteenth-century London, Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, and Thomas Hoccleve each day encountered aspects of commerce such as buying, selling, and worrying about being cheated. Many of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales address how pervasive the market had become in personal relationships. Gower's writings include praises of the concept of trade and worries that widespread fraud has harmed it. Hoccleve's poetry examines the difficulty of living in London on a slender salary while at the same time being subject to all the temptations a rich market can provide. Each writer finds that principal tensions in London focused on commerce - how it worked, who controlled it, how it was organized, and who was excluded from it. Reading literary texts through the lens of archival documents and the sociological theories of Pierre Bourdieu, this book demonstrates how the practices of buying and selling in medieval London shaped the writings of Chaucer, Gower, and Hoccleve. Craig Bertolet constructs a framework that reads specific Canterbury tales and pilgrims associated with trade alongside Gower's Mirour de L'Omme and Confessio Amantis, and Hoccleve's Male Regle and Regiment of Princes. Together, these texts demonstrate how the inherent instability commerce produces also produces narratives about that commerce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spirit of the Laws not only systematizes the foundational ideas of “separation of powers” and “balances and checks,” it provides the decisive response to the question of whether power in the nation-state can be limited in the aftermath of the Westphalian settlement of 1648. It describes a civilizational change through which power becomes domesticated, with built-in resistance to attempts to absolutize (or make total) political power. As such, it is the Bible of modern politics, now made more accessible to English readers than it ever has been.
