Philipp Robinson Rössner Book order

Focusing on the concepts of Mercantilism and Cameralism, this book reinterprets their roles as foundational elements of modern capitalism rather than mere oppositions to it. It delves into intellectual and conceptual history, particularly during the Renaissance, to construct a narrative that positions these political economies as crucial stepping stones in the evolution of capitalism, especially in Britain. This work is geared towards academics and students interested in economic history, capitalism, and the development of economic thought.

Author Philip Robinson blends reality with a dose of the outlandish in this fast-paced thriller: Kraken Corporation is too big to fail...or control. Spreading its tentacles into every profit centre around the globe--oil, gold, diamonds--it takes what it wants and leaves behind a path of death and destruction. When Emma Baine, heir to Kraken, publicly announces her intention to end the corporation's history of profiteering, murder, and monopoly, a bomb explodes on the rostrum, killing her instantly. To her brother Carson, it's the perfect punch line to Emma's childish statement. He took out his sister, and now he's going to take over the firm. Using Kraken's "private security force," a mercenary army that rolls over every obstacle to profitability, and the USS Alcatraz, an old Russian nuclear sub retrofitted into a gargantuan underwater prison, Carson imprisons everyone he perceives as an enemy--while the highest figures in government turn a blind eye. But there's one obstacle Carson can't grind under his heel: an ex-Marine named Vaughan. As Emma's former lover and bodyguard, Vaughn is tough, smart...and very angry.

The monograph contributes to the field of eighteenth-century comparative European history. Based mainly on British and German customs accounts, it is a bilateral case study of the basic working mechanisms within a much larger framework – the eighteenth-century Atlantic economy. The Scottish customs records are unique, insofar as they allow precise reconstructions of Scotland’s trade volume in yearly series after 1743, which can be broken down by singular countries/commodities. As the Scottish-German trade pattern linked back into the Atlantic framework, it is hoped that the present model study will encourage further research into cross-country studies of North Sea and Atlantic trade – the most dynamic branch of European commerce post-1700.

The monograph examines the trends, structure and fluctuations in Scotland’s foreign trade, 1700-1760 in two parts. Part I is a general examination of the sources, the institutional, as well as socio-economic framework, and the general trend in Scotland’s foreign trades, 1700-1760. Part II consists of a detailed case study on Scottish trade with German ports, based on a comprehensive examination of contemporary customs accounts and trade statistics. The monograph’s main aim is to highlight the pan-European contingency matrix, which Scottish foreign trade was exposed to after 1700. It is also intended to shed new light on hitherto overlooked aspects, such as the responsibility of the new (English) customs system in Scotland, 1707 for creating a peculiarly Scottish pattern of trade thereafter.
