How did "innovation" become something to strive for, an end in
itself? And how did "the market" come to be thought of as the space
of innovation? This edited volume provides the first historical
examination of how innovations are conceived, marketed, navigated
and legitimated from a global perspective that highlights
contrasting experiences. These experiences include: colonial
"projecting" in the Dutch New Netherlands, trust networks in the
early US securities market, female investors during the Financial
Revolution, life insurance in nineteenth-century France, "bubbles"
and trusts in 1920s Shanghai, government regulation of the
pre-Revolutionary stock market and the checkered success of today's
bit-coin technology. By discussing these diverse contexts together,
this volume provides a pathbreaking reconsideration of market and
business activities in light of both the techniques and the
emotional vectors that infuse them.
