Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this course we will discuss the evolution of banking and capital markets from antiquity to modern times on the basis of cutting-edge research. Particular emphasis will be put on financial innovation and the interplay between the public and the private sector. Although attendance is open to anyone with an interest in this subject, this class is especially recommended to students attending Prof. C. Jobst’s lectures on financial history (070035 VO “Grundzüge der Finanzgeschichte”), since we will approach similar and complementary topics. Our approach will be however more dialectic and crucially rely on the students’ personal contributions through oral discussion of the literature as well as of a few primary sources.
