In the seventeenth century, England saw Holland as an economic
power to learn from and compete with. English Economic Thought in
the Seventeenth Century: Rejecting the Dutch Model analyses English
economic discourse during this period, and explores the ways in
which England's economy was shaped by the example of its Dutch
rival. Drawing on an impressive range of primary and secondary
sources, the chapters explore four key areas of controversy in
order to illuminate the development of English economic thought at
this time. These areas include: the herring industry; the setting
of interest rates; banking and funds; and land registration and
credit. The links between each of these debates are highlighted,
and attention is also given to the broader issues of international
trade, social reform and credit. This book is of strong interest to
advanced students and researchers of the history of economic
thought, economic history and intellectual history.
