The Cultural Construction of a Merchant Class in Early Modern Germany
Description
Using personal narratives left by early modern German merchants, this study disrupts linear histories of capitalism and modernity. Martha C. Howell examines how merchants understood their profession and themselves, demonstrating that their honor was based not just on riches but on their comportment in the marketplace and in society more generally.
