Provides academics and practitioners with a broader understanding of the origins of financial capitalism. A specially commissioned group of historians and economists examine and challenge North and Weingast's (1989) 'credible commitment' thesis and show that parliamentary backing of public finance alone is insufficient to create confidence in a state's credit-worthiness.
