4.9/5 (10386 ratings)

Description:The book is the first of two volumes and focuses on exchange rates, consumer prices and wages. In this first volume, researchers from Gothenburg, Lund and Stockholm discuss earnings from the Middle Ages until the present century. A consumer price index will be presented which stretches back to 1290, among other features. The index shows that the century which experienced the highest inflation was the 1500s, followed by the 1900s. Considered in a longer historical perspective, the international performance of the Swedish currency has been weak. Throughout history, commitments to a stable currency have repeatedly been made, but major events such as wars and severe economic crises have often, although far from always, led to the breaking of these promises. As regards wage trends, the historical series indicate that real wages for a worker were higher during the Middle Ages than in the mid-1800s. Since the 1800s, wage differences between men and women have decreased. However, these differences have remained stable since the end of the 1970s.The book, to be published by the Riksbank together with Ekelid Publishing House (Ekelids Förlag AB), forms part of a more comprehensive project that has previously resulted in a database of historical monetary statistics which can be found on the Riksbank's website.The book is only available in English.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
