Making Money ventures boldly into multiple domains of sixteenth-century life, offering insightful comments on cosmetics, alchemy, Scholastic philosophy, social mobility, monarchical propaganda, the Pleiade poets, William Cecil, John Locke, Pierre Corneille, New Comedy, and much else. In its exuberant intellectual abundance, Making Money occasionally seems to be channeling the spirit of the sixteenth century itself., Making Money in Sixteenth-Century France will be an important and invaluable reference for anyone working in early modern economic history. It is ambitious in its analysis, engagingly written, and wide ranging. The great strength of the book, in addition to its history of economic thought, is Parsons' astute weaving of different strands of sociological literature and unstudied archival material. In that account, his anlaysis achieves the right balance between breadth and depth. Coinage is a highly technical and ill-understood subject, and Parsons deserves much credit for his ability to make the intricacies of coinage in the sixteenth century understandable and interesting for a broad audience., "Making Money in Sixteenth-Century France is an erudite, ambitious, multidimensional analysis of the many little-understood complexities and consequences of 'money' that provides compelling insights into a central intersection of early modern politics, economics, society, and culture."--Julie Hardwick, University of Texas at Austin, author of Family Business: Litigation and the Political Economies of Daily Life in Early Modern France, Making Money ventures boldly into multiple domains of sixteenth-century life, offering insightful comments on cosmetics, alchemy, Scholastic philosophy, social mobility, monarchical propaganda, the Pleiade poets, William Cecil, John Locke, Pierre Corneille, New Comedy, and much else.

Synopsis
Coinage and currency?abstract and socially created units of value and power?were basic to early modern society. By controlling money, the people sought to understand and control their complex, expanding, and interdependent world. In Making Money in Sixteenth-Century France , Jotham Parsons investigates the creation and circulation of currency in France. The royal Cour des Monnaies centralized monetary administration, expanding its role in the emerging modern state during the sixteenth century and assuming new powers as an often controversial repository of theoretical and administrative expertise. The Cour des Monnaies , Parsons shows, played an important role in developing the contemporary understanding of money, as a source of both danger and opportunity at the center of economic and political life. More practically, the Monnaies led generally successful responses to the endemic inflation of the era and the monetary chaos of a period of civil war. Its work investigating and prosecuting counterfeiters shone light into a picaresque world of those who used the abstract and artificial nature of money for their own ends. Parsons's broad, multidimensional portrait of money in early modern France also encompasses the literature of the age, in which money's arbitrary and dangerous power was a major theme., Coinage and currency--abstract and socially created units of value and power--were basic to early modern society.
