Diverging Views on Capitalism and Money in Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Germany
ABSTRACT
Conference participants examined the treatment given to capitalism in general and money in particular by representative German thinkers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Germany's transition from a backward society to a political entity integrated in the global economy offers lessons not only for Brazil and other developing countries, but also for developed societies concerned with the impact of "globalization."
