- Title
Jenseits des »cash nexus«. Sozialgeschichte des Kredits zwischen kulturanthropologischen und informationsökonomischen Zugängen.
- Authors
SUTER, MISCHA
- Abstract
The article proposes that research into credit relations would prove a promising field of inquiry for studies in historical anthropology that see economic behavior as a social activity and practice. The author reviews literature on private credit relations in 18th and 19th century Western Europe and detects two key approaches, one of which draws on cultural anthropology and a second which is based on the economics of information. These two approaches are compared in terms of their shared scope versus differences and as potential elements in a history of knowledge.
