Description

Explore the economic history of debtors' prisons in eighteenth-century England through this Routledge publication. This book examines how hundreds of thousands of men and women were imprisoned for debt during a period of rapid industrialization and market growth. As Britain experienced increasing sophistication in commerce, the debtors' prison system remained a popular tool for creditors. The text analyzes how the lack of early modern currency made almost every exchange dependent on credit based on personal reputation rather than defined collateral. This study provides a detailed look at how the debt system functioned alongside the evolving economic landscape of the era.

Key Features

This Routledge book provides an economic history of debtors' prisons in eighteenth-century England.

The text examines the impact of industrialization and market growth on the debt system.

Learn how credit reliance on personal reputation functioned in the absence of sufficient early modern currency.

This volume is part of the Perspectives in Economic and Social History series.
