Banking, Projecting, and Politicking uncovers a previously
understudied and unacknowledged financial institution in
late-seventeenth-century England known as Thompson and Company.
Whilst the institution has been briefly mentioned in literary
studies focusing on the poet and politician Andrew Marvell, it has
never been the sole focus of an economic, financial, commercial, or
political study in its own right. As such, nothing is known of how
it operated, where it sits in the history of English finance, why
it collapsed, or what it can tell us about wider Restoration
society and its economic and political culture. Through a
microhistorical study, the book reconstructs the institution of
Thompson and Company, the social networks of its partners, the
identity of its creditors, and the events and circumstances that
led to its collapse. The book situates the reconstructed
institution within its economic, commercial, financial, and
political contexts, using the evidence accrued to question the
traditional narrative of financial and commercial development,
credit systems, the relationship between economics, finance,
commerce and politics, and the place of risk and strategy in
gendered relations, credit, and social status. The book will be of
interest to academics and students in economic history, financial
and business history.
