Hetzel Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond The 2008–2009 recession destroyed the professional consensus about the kinds of models required to understand cyclical fluctuations, reviving creditcycle explanations of recession that dominated nineteenth- and early twentieth-century thinking. These ‘market-disorder’ views emphasize excessive risk taking in financial markets and the need for government regulation. ‘Hetzel’s book is a detailed, authoritative account of the recent credit turmoil and recession told as part of a narrative monetary history of business cycles dating back to the nineteenth century. The book is an immensely rewarding read for serious students of central banking.’ Marvin Goodfriend, Carnegie Mellon University Studies in Macroeconomic History 2012 228 x 152 mm 400pp 64 b/w illus. 4 tables 978-1-107-01188-5 Hardback £35.00 eBook available www.cambridge.org/9781107011885 Credibility and the International Monetary Regime A Historical Perspective Edited by Michael D.

Global history / Diplomatic, international history 35 manufacturing powerhouses. However, this is not a new phenomenon: until the industrial revolution, Asia manufactured great quantities of colourful printed cottons that were sold to places as far afield as Japan, West Africa and Europe. Cotton explores this earlier globalised economy and its transformation after 1750 as cotton led the way in the industrialisation of Europe. By the early nineteenth century, India, China and the Ottoman Empire switched from world producers to buyers of European cotton textiles, a position that they retained for over two hundred years. This is a fascinating and insightful story which ranges from Asian and European technologies and African slavery to cotton plantations in the Americas and consumer desires across the globe. 2013 247 x 174 mm 330pp 103 b/w illus. 46 colour illus. 10 maps 12 tables 978-1-107-00022-3 Hardback c. £25.00 Publication March 2013 www.cambridge.org/9781107000223 Europe and the Maritime World A Twentieth Century History Michael B. Miller University of Miami Europe and the Maritime World: A Twentieth-Century History offers a framework for understanding globalisation over the past century. Through a detailed analysis of ports, shipping and trading companies, Michael B. Miller shows how a European maritime infrastructure made modern production and consumer societies possible, influencing the development of a global economy in the twentieth century. ‘This book opens up a challenging and audacious new perspective on the history of nineteenth- and twentiethcentury globalization through its focus on European shipping, traders, and ports, and the networks that linked them. The ambitious scope of the book, resting as it does on deep research in many archives in many countries, is refreshing and a model of how transnational history should be written. The nuanced discussion of the evolving relationship between the global and the local is essential reading for all historians of globalization.’ Geoffrey Jones, Isidor Straus Professor of Business History, Harvard Business School 2012 228 x 152 mm 447pp 11 b/w illus. 4 maps 7 tables 978-1-107-02455-7 Hardback £65.00 eBook available www.cambridge.org/9781107024557 Metals, Culture and Capitalism An Essay on the Origins of the Modern World Jack Goody St John’s College, Cambridge Jack Goody, one of the world’s most distinguished anthropologists, undertakes an ambitious and broadranging account of the search for metals in Europe and the Near East from the Bronze Age to the Industrial Revolution and the relationship between this and economic activity, socio-political structures, culture and the development of capitalism. 2012 247 x 174 mm 366pp 12 b/w illus. 14 maps 978-1-107-02962-0 Hardback £55.00 978-1-107-61447-5 Paperback £18.99 www.cambridge.org/9781107029620 Universal Empire A Comparative Approach to Imperial Culture and Representation in Eurasian History Edited by Peter Fibiger Bang University of Copenhagen and Dariusz Kolodziejczyk Uniwersytet Warszawski, Poland The claim by certain rulers to universal empire has a long history stretching as far back as the Assyrian and Achaemenid Empires.

It traces the history of American envoys residing in the major belligerent countries, highlighting how diplomats sculpted formal policy in ways not always intended by Franklin D. Roosevelt or his advisors. ‘David Mayers’ FDR’s Ambassadors and the Diplomacy of Crisis marks an outstanding contribution to the scholarship on Franklin Roosevelt. Mayers provides critical new insight by focusing upon a cast of characters; the nation’s wartime Ambassadors, whose relationship with the 32nd President was by nature episodic and distant.’ J.
