Description
The idea of corporate social responsibility may seem like a recent trend, but the previously unpublished historical documents on Cambridge's sophisticated urban property market reveal that businesses have been practicing what is sometimes referred to as "Compassionate Capitalism" for nearly a thousand years.
This transdisciplinary study presents an invaluable contribution to our knowledge of the early phases of capitalism.

Reviews / Votes
"Our knowledge of early capitalism is far from perfect. This book makes an important contribution to redress this situation, while also providing very valuable new information about medieval Cambridge and its territory." Guido Alfani, Bocconi University "A novel and creative approach to the Capitalism debate. The transcription and analysis of primary sources are valuable contribution to medieval and early modern social, economic and business history." Claudia Jefferies, City, University London "This study of the medieval property market in Cambridge, presented in the context of medieval capitalism and Christian charitable foundations, will be widely welcomed."
