Description

Explore the evolving understanding of pre-modern monetary systems in this scholarly work from Routledge. For a long time, historians linked the use of coins directly to the level of monetization in a society. This book challenges that view by examining how medieval states in the Bay of Bengal world functioned through complex money systems that did not always rely on physical coinage. Readers will learn about the role of moneys of account that acted as substitutes for coins. The text addresses the historical imbalance where physical coins are easy to find, but intangible forms of money are much harder to track. This study provides a necessary perspective on how economies operated in mountain fastness and coastal kingdoms alike, moving beyond the simple binary of monetized versus under-monetized states.

Key Features

Examines the complex relationship between physical coinage and non-coin monetary systems in the medieval Bay of Bengal.

Challenges traditional historical views that equated the absence of coins with a lack of monetization.

Investigates the use of moneys of account as functional substitutes for physical currency in pre-modern economies.

Addresses the evidentiary gap between surviving physical coins and the harder-to-trace intangible forms of money.

Provides a deep look into how diverse medieval states managed economic functions without relying solely on hard money.
