In this project, Joseph Vogl demonstrated through the theme of chrematistics and its profile of characteristics how economic processes and social structures permeate and pervade each other.

Research

The project followed the transformation of chrematistics to the ascendancy of finance in early modernity and demonstrates the dynamics of a new politico-economic power.

Results of the project have been presented in several publications:
