It focuses on Switzerland, an exemplary case of liberal rule. Debt collection and bankruptcy relied on received practices until they were standardized in a Swiss federal law in 1889. The vast array of these practices was summarized by the idiomatic Swiss legal term \"Rechtstrieb\" (literally, \"law drive\"). Analyzing these forms of summary justice opens a window to the makeshift economies and the contested political imaginaries of nineteenth-century everyday life. Ultimately, the book advances an empirically grounded and theoretically informed history of quotidian legal practices in the everyday economy; it is an argument for studying capitalism from the bottom up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mischa Suter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472132520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472132522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.30w x 1.02d","brand":"Mischa Suter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987541065983,"sku":"9780472132522","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be671db6-0beb-4258-8569-4c580416381a.jpg?v=1683289601","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bankruptcy-and-debt-collection-in-mischa-suter-9780472132522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
