Medieval Economic ThoughtThis book offers an introduction to medieval economic thought, from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, as it emerges from the works of academic theologians and lawyers and a variety of secular sources--from Italian merchants' writings to vernacular poetry, parliamentary legislation, and manorial court rolls. It discusses ideas of property, charity, the nature and role of money, weights, measures, coinage, trade, the just price and the just wage, and usury. Its aim is to make accessible a relatively neglected subject, and to explore the relationship between theory and practice. |
