"City of Capital is the new economic sociology at its
best--theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich, and lucidly
written."---William G. Roy, American Journal of Sociology
"A fabulous book. The arguments about its broad themes are
compelling, the attention to detail is overwhelming but absolutely
necessary and the lessons drawn are important."---Ruben Lee,
Financial News
"By demonstrating that in this crucial period, in this crucial
market, politics affected 'economic' behavior, Carruthers poses
important questions for sociologists and economists. There is
plenty here for historians, too. His reflections on the social
meaning of debt relations and of economic exchange, for example,
have wider implications for our understanding of the early modern
economy."---Michael Braddick, American Historical Review
