@drumm_colin We will see the same pattern in my class High Finance in the Low Countries. Wars of succession, I suspect, hence the duration of generations?

Updated (& final) syllabur for "High Finance in the Low Countries"
w/ me
Mimbres School Summer 2026

[jan delaeter @Jan_dtr]

@karthiktadepall Sounds right. We've been suggesting the same in my reading groups on Low Countries history; especially Dutch historiography has been using the institutional framework a lot. A theory to avoid more unpleasant alternative theories.

Check out the syllabus (pending some small final tweaks) for my course this summer on High Finance in the Low Countries!

@drumm_colin but actually this is a stab that is still missing an account of who the bankers tend to be

[jan delaeter @Jan_dtr]

@drumm_colin working stab. Banks are institutions, which originate in central points of payments in the payments graph, which offer in the first place payment/transaction services to money users, and on top of that can offer credit services as well

We're reading about Dutch internatioanl trade for my spring reading group, taking a look at Jonker & Sluyterman's 2001 book "At home on the world market. Dutch International Trading Companies from the 16th Century until the Present".

I'm having trouble tracking down well-sourced quotations in which Abraham Lincoln comments directly on monetary politics and the greenbacks. There are a lot of fake quotations circulating. He's pretty laconic in Spaulding. Appreciate any good sources for Lincoln on greenbacks

The only real purpose of the economics discipline is to prevent democratic discussion of economic matters by gating them behind arbitrary complexity
