Lars Maischak shows that the success of Bremen's merchants in helping make an industrial-capitalist world market created the conditions of their ultimate undoing: the new economy of industrial capitalism gave rise to democracy and the nation-state, undermining the political and economic power of this mercantile elite. Maischak argues that the experience of Bremen's merchants is representative of the transformation of the role of merchant capital in the first wave of globalization, with implications for our understanding of modern capitalism, in general. 410 0$aPublications of the German Historical Institute. 606 $aMerchants$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMerchants$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGermany$xCommerce$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xCommerce$zGermany$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aMerchants$xHistory 615 0$aMerchants$xHistory 676 $a382.0943/073 686 $aBUS023000$2bisacsh 700 $aMaischak$b Lars$f1970-$01685683 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823021803321 996 $aGerman merchants in the nineteenth-century Atlantic$94057987 997 $aUNINA
