The eleven articles in this volume examine controversial subjects
of central importance to medieval economic historians. Topics
include the relative roles played by money and credit in financing
the economy, whether credit could compensate for shortages of coin,
and whether it could counteract the devastating mortality of the
Black Death. Drawing on a detailed analysis of the Statute Merchant
and Staple records, the articles chart the chronological and
geographical changes in the economy from the late-thirteenth to the
early-sixteenth centuries. This period started with the triumph of
English merchants over alien exporters in the early 1300s, and
concluded in the early 1500s with cloth exports overtaking wool in
value. The articles assess how these changes came about, as well as
the degree to which both political and economic forces altered the
pattern of regional wealth and enterprise in ways which saw the
northern towns decline, and London rise to be the undisputed
financial as well as the political capital of England.
