Impunity and Capitalism - The Afterlives of European Financial Crises, 1690–1830

Impunity and Capitalism examines the evolution of economic impunity in Europe across the long eighteenth century with a focus on several international financial crises: 1709, 1720, 1793–97 and 1825. Trevor Jackson considers how these crises happened, who was responsible for stopping them, and how financial capitalism created new forms of impunity.
