{"product_id":"financial-crisis-of-abolition-john-schulz-9780300134193","title":"Financial Crisis of Abolition","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom 1850 to 1914, Brazil enjoyed a long period of political and financial stability that was interrupted just once. During this rupture, 1889-1894, the country suffered two successful coups-d'etat, military government, civil war, and a disastrous decline in the value of the national currency. The five years of disorder and crisis came in the wake of the nation's abolition of slavery and related financial repercussions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines Brazil's crisis years, for the first time setting post-slavery financial decisions within their international and local historical contexts. Arguing against the \"European dependency\" interpretation of Brazil's history, John Schulz explains how planters' demands for easy credit after abolition were met with shortsighted economic policies. The failure of the expansionary monetary policy of the 1890s not only illuminates Brazil's history, it also suggests lessons relevant to financial and political decisions being made today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Schulz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300134193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300134193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.32w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2009","brand":"John Schulz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425003356415,"sku":"9780300134193","price":73.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_576def02-a91d-459e-9101-db5a38a011c3.jpg?v=1761536330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/financial-crisis-of-abolition-john-schulz-9780300134193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
