Quantitative Studies of National Socialism: A Quantum: Conference Report

The authors present and compare new time series for calculating the real value of Swiss prices over the past five centuries. They analyze three different modes of price deflation using wages, consumer price indices (CPIs), and the gross domestic product (GDP), and assess the merits and limitations of each approach. The authors then examine how time series that cover long periods of time are made using Switzerland as a case study and introduce an original CPI for the years 1501-2006. The authors conclude by contrasting the different time series and proposing rough guidelines about their use.     

The Last Battle on English Soil,Preston 1715

Abstract

In July 1596 Christopher Saxton spent more than a week in Manchester with John Dee and Henry Savile working on a survey of the town. This survey has never been found, and the circumstances surrounding it have remained fairly obscure. An examination of new evidence and an analysis of both the immediate context and the links between the three men principally involved in the survey strongly suggest that it was undertaken for chorographical and historical purposes, but that it might also have served the needs of other important agents in local society such as the Collegiate Church, and the new lord of the manor.
