Description

Explore the evolution of mutual and micro-insurance with this historical study from Palgrave Macmillan. While modern systems often rely on state or for-profit models, this book examines the long history of mutual insurance from 1550 to the present. It provides a detailed look at how guild welfare and friendly societies laid the groundwork for contemporary micro-insurers. The text traces how various risks were managed over centuries, including provisions for sickness, unemployment, old age, burial, and widowhood. As micro-insurance gains importance in both Western and non-Western worlds, this book offers a necessary re-examination of these historical models and their continued relevance in the global financial landscape.
