Abstract

Dünya iktisadi tarihinde çok bir önemli şehir devleti olan Ortaçağ Floransa’sı, finansal gelişme ile ilgili de ilginç bir vaka örneğidir. Floransa,Ortaçağ’da yünlü üretiminde de çok önemli bir yere sahip bulunmaktadır. Ancak, 14. Yüzyılın ortalarından itibaren, yünlü sanayisi ile ilgili gerileme emareleri gözlenmektedir. Floransa, aynı zamanda, Avrupa finansal ağlarında önemli bir aktör konumundadır. Yünlü sanayinin gerilemesi bağlamında bir tür finansallaşma süreci, Marks (1960) ve Arrighi (2010) gibi bazı yazarlar tarafından açıklayıcı olarak önerilmekle birlikte, zamanının kurumsal ve ekonomi-politik yapısı da Floransa’nın finansal alandaki ilerlemesinin arkasındaki neden olabilir. Bir takım yeni finansal kurumlar, şehrin ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda geliştirilmiştir. Bu kurumlar ve uygulamalarda şehrin kültürel özelliklerinin izleri de görülmektedir

Abstract

Medieval Florence, a city-state which has significant importance in the economic history of the world, is also an interesting case when it comes to financial development. This city state, had a prominent place in the production of wool in the medieval world. But later on in the mids of the 14th century, its wool industry began to decline. The city-state was also an important actor in financial networks of Europe. As some kind of financialization process was suggested by authors such as Marks(1960) and Arrighi (2010) as an explanation to the deindustrialization of the city-state; the institutional and political economic landscape of the time may also be effective in the financial development of Florence. Innovative financial institutions were developed in line with the needs of the city-state which also reflect its cultural traits
