Money in the German-speaking Lands, Paperback / softback Book

Money in the German-speaking Lands Paperback / softback

Edited by Mary Lindemann, Jared Poley

Part of the Spektrum: Publications of the German Studies Association series

Paperback / softback

Description

Money is more than just a medium of financial exchange: across time and place, it has performed all sorts of cultural, political, and social functions.

This volume traces money in German-speaking Europe from the late Renaissance until the close of the twentieth century, exploring how people have used it and endowed it with multiple meanings.

The fascinating studies gathered here collectively demonstrate money’s vast symbolic and practical significance, from its place in debates about religion and the natural world to its central role in statecraft and the formation of national identity.
