More about the book

The book explores the intertwined evolution of representative assemblies and public borrowing in medieval and early modern Europe. David Stasavage argues that political representation played a crucial role in enabling certain states to secure early access to credit. He highlights the importance of compact geography and a robust mercantile presence as foundational elements that fostered this political development, offering a new perspective on the dynamics of state finance and representation during this period.
