Economic History In: In 1874, after having been twice rewritten, his Short History of the English People appeared. This work unified English history as no other had yet done. "What Macaulay had done for a period of English history," said his fellow historian Mandell Creighton, "Green did for it as a whole." Green's purpose was to show the development of English life by a fusion of constitutional, economic history in, literary, artistic, and social history—subjects that historians had formerly treated independently. He expanded this very successful work into History of the English People (1877-1880).
GUILD, in economic history in history, a form of association of merchants or craftsmen in western Europe during the Middle Ages, organized for the self-protection and economic history in and social gain of its members. The medieval merchant and craft guilds regulated the local urban economy in many ways. They established monopolies over trade in the town markets, maintained stable prices under stable conditions, specified standards for the quality of goods, and exercised control over the town government to gain their economic history in objectives. The medieval guilds were the antecedents of modern associations of industrialists and bankers and also of labor unions.
A new law was needed for the new conditions of economic history in and social life. The creation on the Continent of this new law— and of its corollary, a new legal science— was a long, complex process that forms a part of the general history of the economic history in, political, and intellectual development of western Europe. The new law was woven from many strands— the customs of merchants, canon law, the revived Roman law, and, at a later stage, natural law philosophies. Various professions contributed to its elaboration—practitioners, judges, administrators, scholars, men of affairs, churchmen, and philosophers. |
