This fascinating study follows the fortunes of the Hoechstetter
family, merchant-manufacturers and financiers of Augsburg, Germany,
in the late-fifteenth and early-sixteenth centuries, and sheds
light on the economic and social history of failure and resilience
in early modern Europe. Carefully tracing the chronology of the
family's rise, fall and transformation, it moves from the micro- to
the macro-level, making comparisons with other mercantile families
of the time to draw conclusions and suggest insights into such
issues as social mobility, capitalist organization, business
techniques, market practices and economic institutions. The result
is a microhistory that offers macro-conclusions about the lived
experience of early capitalism and capitalistic practices. This
book will be valuable reading for advanced students and researchers
of economic, financial and business history, legal history and
early modern European history.
