Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2025The Florentine florin
The politics and culture of money in the Middle Ages
by Stefano Locatelli
Minted in Florence around November 1252, the florin became one of the leading gold currencies of the Middle Ages. Historians agree that its success was mainly due to the need for a stable means of payment in the networks of international trade. The Florentine Florin investigates the florin as a medium with hitherto neglected political, social, and cultural dimensions. By bringing human agents and political institutions more prominently into the history of the coin, this book enhances our understanding of money and its nature from a historical perspective, and provides an original framework for the integrated study of material culture and economic practices.

February 2022In den Stürmen der Transformation
Zwei Werften zwischen Sozialismus und EU
by Philipp Ther, Ulf Brunnbauer, Piotr Filipkowski, Andrew Hodges, Stefano Petrungaro, Peter Wegenschimmel
Die gigantischen Kräne der Werften in Gdynia und in Pula waren bis vor Kurzem der Stolz dieser Städte. In Polen entstanden 300 Meter lange Ozeanriesen, in Kroatien Schiffe, auf denen Tausende Schafe lebend aus Neuseeland nach Europa transportiert werden konnten – Meerwasserentsalzungsanlage inklusive. Doch all der Erfindungsreichtum und das im Sozialismus eingeübte Improvisationstalent halfen nichts: Bald nach dem EU-Beitritt gingen die Werften pleite, auch weil in Brüssel das Wettbewerbsrecht mehr zählt als eine global orientierte Industriepolitik. Das »Werftenkollektiv« um Ulf Brunnbauer und Philipp Ther taucht tief ein in den Alltag der beiden Betriebe. Die Sozialwissenschaftler und Historiker rekonstruieren ihren Niedergang und analysieren die große Transformation, die Europa seit den siebziger Jahren erschüttert.
