Following the seminal work of Douglass C. North and Barry R. Weingast (1989), many scholars have concluded that the 'credible commitment' that was provided by parliamentary backing of government as a result of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 provided the key institutional underpinning on which modern public finances depend. In this book, a specially commissioned group of historians and economists examine and challenge the North and Weingast thesis to show that multiple commitment mechanisms were necessary to convince public creditors that sovereign debt constituted a relatively accessible, safe and liquid investment vehicle. Questioning Credible Commitment provides academics and practitioners with a broader understanding of the origins of financial capitalism, and, with its focus on theoretical and policy frameworks, shows the significance of the debate to current macroeconomic policy making.Macroeconomic policy making.Finance, PublicEuropeHistoryCapitalEuropeHistoryCreditEuropeHistoryEuropeEconomic policyFinance, PublicHistory.CapitalHistory.CreditHistory.336.4109/03Coffman D'Maris1973-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910453084903321Questioning credible commitment1469912UNINA03969nam 2200661Ia 450 991077887810332120230829224204.01-134-81854-81-280-32069-90-203-42954-0(CKB)111004366674340(EBL)166411(OCoLC)304139635(SSID)ssj0000119459(PQKBManifestationID)11134340(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000119459(PQKBWorkID)10057018(PQKB)10545426(SSID)ssj0001143217(PQKBManifestationID)12482757(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001143217(PQKBWorkID)11109255(PQKB)21090158(MiAaPQ)EBC166411(Au-PeEL)EBL166411(CaPaEBR)ebr10058240(CaONFJC)MIL32069(EXLCZ)9911100436667434019940602d1995 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCeremony and ritual in Japan religious practices in an industrialised society /edited by Jan van Bremen and D.P.

Yet the Japanese continue to practise a variety of religious rituals and ceremonies despite the high-tech, highly regimented nature of Japanese society. Ceremony and Ritual in Japan focuses on the traditional and religious aspects of Japanese society from an anthropological perspective, presenting new material and making cross-cultural comparisons.The chapters in this collection cover topics as diverse as funerals and mourning, sweeping, women's roles in ritual, the division of ceremonial foods into bitter and sweet,Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese studies series.Rites and ceremoniesJapanJapanReligious life and customsRites and ceremonies291/.0952Bremen Jan van1946-2005.1563098Martinez D.
