This book explores the changing boundaries and relationships
between market and state from the seventeenth to the twentieth
century. Money and Markets celebrates Martin Daunton's
distinguished career by bringing together essays from leading
economic, social and cultural historians, many being colleagues and
former students. Throughout his career, Dauntonhas focused on the
relationship between structure and agency, how institutional
structures create capacities and path dependencies, and how
institutions are themselves shaped by agency and contingency - what
Braudel referred to as 'turning the hour glass twice'. This volume
reflects that focus, combining new research on the financing of the
British fiscal-military state before and during the Napoleonic
wars, its property institutions, and thelonger-term economic
consequences of Sir Robert Peel. There are also chapters on the
birth of the Eurodollar market, Conservative fiscal policy from the
1960s to the 1980s, the impact of neoliberalism on welfare policy
and more broadly, the failed attempt to build an airport in the
Thames Estuary in the 1970s, and the political economy of time in
Britain since 1945. While much of the focus is on Britain, and
British finance in a global economy, the volumealso reflects
Daunton's more recent study of international political economy with
essays on the French contribution to nineteenth-century
globalization, Prussian state finances at the time of the 1848
revolution, Imperial German monetary policy, the role of
international charity in the mixed economy of welfare and
neoliberal governance, and the material politics of energy
consumption from the 1930s to the 1960s. JULIAN HOPPIT is Astor

This book charts the course of monetary policy in the UK from 1967
to 1982. It shows how events such as the 1967 devaluation, the
collapse of Bretton Woods, the stagflation of the 1970s, and the
IMF loan of 1976 all shaped policy. It shows that the 'monetarist'
experiment of the 1980s was based on a fundamental misreading of
1970s monetary policy.
