Faculty of Humanities, Charles University invites you to an international conference "Money - Crisis - Conjuncture".

The purpose of the conference is to provide insights into questions connected with financial crises during the Middle Ages and early modern period. Historical, monetary, economic and demographic factors related to financial crises will be discussed.

The second aim of the conference is to contribute to the "little divergence" debate on long-term economic development, to deal with the reasons of economic growth and its deceleration and to explain why the economy of Central Europe has been behind with that of Western Europe since the early modern period.
