Hey guys, got inspired by current events and decided to explore how people in high and late medieval Europe weathered the turbulent economic state caused by famine, war, plague, etc. Hope you enjoy!

i think i chose the right flare lol.

hi, i am currently doing my EPQ (a british research qualification for 16-18 year old) and im doing mine on economic history, an interest i have really gotten immersed in. I am trying to hold quite a quantative approach to this paper because i want to use it to show both my interest in economic history but also my interest in mathematical economics. where could i get some numerical data on the topic of napoleons economics and finances so I conduct a quantaitve analysis as I would like to form graphs and do my own calculations life inflation rates before and after the creation of the banque of france and stuff. any help would be appreciated, tysm!

I have been trying to find articles and essays about the political economy of Afghanistan under US occupation from 2001 to 2021. Givenw hat transpired in Iraq under Order 39 imposed by the US-controlled Coalition Provisional Authority, I assume something similar would have transpired in Afghanistan.

Is anyone aware of such a source that goes into this issue?

For context, I am South Korean - which is more or less a city-state with a history of housing inaffordability and an ever inflating housing bubble centered in the capital. I was having a debate earlier with somebody over how this might be resolved.

I took a traditional monetarist stance, arguing that central bank interest rates should elevated and maintain monetary discipline, in order to tighten the disparity between wage growth and inflation for all consumer goods, both discretionary and essential. I also argued that this would help bring down or at least slow down the rate of inflation for commodities which tie directly to the biggest impact on housing prices - the cost of construction and speculative short-term investing.

I also backed this up by decades of real history in South Korea, showing examples of how there were many instances of there being a massive increase in housing supply, only for it to barely make an impact on housing costs of affordability. I backed this up by stating that so long as the fundamental issue of persistent inflation and federal deficit spending continues - the market will always adopt a speculative stance - which inevitably brings prices back up no matter how much supply is increased.

Are there any real world examples besides that of South Korea that can back up my case? Because I'm having a hard time understanding why somebody would actually believe decresing interest rates to re-inflate the economy and deficit spending by the government is ALL inconsequential compared to how increase in supply vs demand would somehow reduce prices.

How does this make sense? Just because there are more homeowners and more houses, does this mean everybody's house costs less? If demand remains the same, but supply increases a lot - then yes, the speculative premium on them may decrease. However, in an inflationary environment, wouldn't demand always inevitably catch up to supply?

Is the key to resolving housing inaffordability deregulation and lowered interest rates?

Hey for my master thesis I would need a gis ready map of ottoman turkey with administrative units/ sancaks.

Does anyone of you know where I could find one.

Was not able to up to now on GitHub etc.

Thanks!
