Political organizations, social structure, and institutional success: reflections from Gerona and Venice during the commercial revolution

Article Abstract:

Genoa and Venice, Italy, are seen as a starting point for the accumulation of capital in Europe, which grew from the development of trade during the 12th century. These cities can be used as examples to show how political organization might affect the economic performance of a territory. Where clans were important, political stability tended to be eroded over the long term, affecting economic growth. This was the case of Genoa, while Venice was more successful and clans were allowed less of a role.

The stability of megaorganizations: the Tokugawa state

Article Abstract:

The Tokugawa state is an example of a period of political stability in Japanese history, and this was accompanied by economic growth. The period lasted from 1600 until 1869 when the family's rule ended. Japan was excluded from other parts of the world in this period. The family's position inside Japan was seen as secure, so the greatest danger was seen as coming from outside. The peasantry were not a threat since they were not allowed to have arms.
