This book charts the contributions made to the development of the
late medieval English economy by enterprise, money, and credit in a
period which saw its major export trade in wool, which earned most
of its money-supply, suffer from prolonged periods of warfare, high
taxation, adverse weather, and mortality of sheep. Consequently,
the economy suffered from severe shortages of coin, as well as from
internal political conflicts, before the plague of 1348-9 halved
the population. The book examines from the Statute Merchant
certificates of debt, the extent to which credit, which normally
reflects economic activity, was affected by these events, and the
extent to which London, and the leading counties were affected
differently by them. The analysis covers the entire kingdom, decade
by decade, and thereby contributes to the controversy whether
over-population or shortage of coin most inhibited its development.
