ZenodoAddressGB: Geo-coded British Census Addresses, 1851-1911Links c. 121 million individuals from historic British census data for 1851 to 1911 (I-CeM) to modern road data (OS Open Roads) and historic street/placenames (GB1900). Enables researchers to map historic British census data at street and property level. This provides a much higher spatial resolution than existing approaches that aggregate individuals to parishes or census registration sub-districts. For full documentation see the README. For the method, see CensusGeocoder.  For each census year (e.g. England & Wales, 1851), it contains the following files: GIS Data a modified version of GB1900, with GB1900 points assigned to historic administrative boundaries (gb1900.tsv) a modified version of OS Open Roads, with roads segmented by relevant historic administrative boundaries (osopenroads.tsv) Lookup Data a lookup file linking individuals in I-CeM to the modified version of GB1900 (gb1900_recidlkup.tsv) a lookup file linking individuals in I-CeM to the modified version of OS Open Roads (osopenroads_recidlkup.tsv) Metadata A metadata file for each file type, specifying field type and number of records. Licence / Other Info AddressGB contains modified data from GB1900. It acknowledges the Great Britain Historical GIS, the GB1900 partners and volunteers, and makes the data available on the same Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike Licence as per the GB1900 project site. AddressGB contains no named individuals and no addresses from I-CeM. It only contains the unique person identifiers (RecID) to link entries to I-CeM.

New article out, with co-authors: "Elite persistence and inequality in the Danish West Indies, 1760-1914"

We study this former slave-colony, and show how these Caribbean islands (current-day US Virgin Islands) were totally dominated by a small elite, controlling virtually all of the wealth on the islands. This elite was remarkably persistent - even when the enslaved population was emancipated.

Annales HSS

Peter Ericsson and Patrik Winton's article in the last issue of #AnnalesHSS (social.sciences.re/@AnnalesHSS) is already available in English as well.

➡️ Inequality Challenged and Restored. The Political Economy of War Finance in Sweden, c. 1715–1721
👉 doi.org/10.1017/ahsse.2024.12

The authors unveil how the monetary and fiscal reforms, enacted by an ambitious monarch to finance his many wars in the early 18th century, had an impact deep into Swedish society, even shaking its social hierarchies, until reaction brutally set them back.

A refreshing new look at the fiscal-military state of the early modern era.

⭐ The new political economy of the middle ages: a review essay of the medieval constitution of Liberty

"Having established that free cities developed the first truly modern market-friendly legal institutions, Salter and Young advance their most provocative claim: McCloskey (2010) gets the timing wrong on her Bourgeois Dignity thesis. Instead, Salter and Young (2023, pp. 202–206) argue that self-governing medieval cities cultivated bourgeois virtues and lent dignity to merchants in the High Middle Ages."

SpringerLinkThe new political economy of the middle ages: a review essay of the medieval constitution of Liberty - The Review of Austrian EconomicsThe Medieval Constitution of Liberty offers a compelling new argument about the institutional origins of modern economic liberalism. Salter and Young develop the concept of polycentric sovereignty to explain the origins of assemblies (the precursors of parliaments) and free cities. In the process, they synthesize their account with alternative geographic, cultural, and institutional explanations for liberalism. I argue that, while the book generally succeeds, its central theory remains underspecified on account of its failing to analyze the concept of alienability in connection with political property rights and residual claimancy, and that its empirical contribution remains incomplete by failing to articulate a distinct role for the Church.

🔴 Applying a transaction cost perspective to decode viking Scandinavia’s earliest recorded value relation: insights from the forsa ring’s runic inscription

“The congruence in oxen valuation observed between Northern Sweden and 10th-century England is notably significant. It suggests the existence of a profoundly interwoven European institutional architecture of monetary relations that bridged considerable geographical expanses.”

Edvinsson, R. (2024) ‘Applying a transaction cost perspective to decode viking Scandinavia’s earliest recorded value relation: insights from the forsa ring’s runic inscription’, Scandinavian Economic History Review, pp. 1–16. doi: doi.org/10.1080/03585522.2024..

The Export Of Capital To Colonies And The Falling Rate Of Profit In Economic Thought: 1776-1917

“The colonization of South Africa, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand was closely linked with European emigration. After 1870, colonization affected large areas of Africa, Asia, and the Pacific where the population remained overwhelmingly non-European (Bayly 2004). As an advocate of emigration writing in the 1830s, Wakefield argued that the main purpose of acquiring colonies was to extend the agricultural frontier by settling European farmers on previously uncultivated land.”

"Less appreciated, however, are the deep historical roots of this convergence process, and in particular of the spread of modern industry to the global periphery. This book fills this gap by providing a systematic, comparative, historical account of the spread of modern manufacturing beyond its traditional heartland, to Southern and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin America, or what we call the poor periphery."
