Luxury, Fashion and the Early Modern Idea of Credit addresses how
social and cultural ideas about credit and trust, in the context of
fashion and trade, were affected by the growth and development of
the bankruptcy institution. Luxury, fashion and social standing are
intimately connected to consumption on credit. Drawing on data from
the fashion trade, this fascinating edited volume shows how the
concepts of credit, trust and bankruptcy changed towards the end of
the early modern period (1500 1800) and in the beginning of the
modern period. Focusing on Sweden, with comparative material from
France and other European countries, this volume draws together
emerging and established scholars from across the fields of
economic history and fashion. This book is an essential read for
scholars in economic history, financial history, social history and
European history.
