Outline of Final Research Achievements

I wrote a paper about the discussions in seventeenth century England concerning banking, registration of estates, interest rates in terms of certain fund of credit institution. In this research I found that the English pamphleteers in this age, particularly the first half of the seventeenth century, regarded Holland as their model society and, above all, saw fishery as the driving force of the Dutch economy. I also wrote a paper about this. In the course of this research I realised the necessity of writing an English book on these subjects and I wrote a bookproposal in English.
