A price theory of monies Evolving lessons in monetary history
Collected papers
Dennis O. Flynn
Dennis O. Flynn (Alexander R. Heron Distinguished Professor of Economics, University of the Pacific) has researched 16th-18th century global monetary history and world trade since the 1970s. A number of publications since 1995 (with Arturo Giráldez) have focused on the sixteenth-century “birth of globalization;” this interdisciplinary body of work shows intimate relationships among global silver flows, European empires, and how economic activities interacted with environmental, epidemiological, demographic, and cultural interconnections across the globe over three centuries. In recent years, he has turned attention to the formal theory that supports his historical work – “A Unified Theory of Prices” – and is currently investigating mechanisms that guided global accounting systems (and monetary policy) employed by the Dutch government and the Dutch East India Company (VOC) during the 17th century.
Professor Flynn has published over fifty scholarly articles, authored/edited thirteen volumes, and is currently General Editor (with Arturo Giráldez) of a seventeen-volume series entitled The Pacific World: Lands, Peoples, and History of the Pacific, 1500-1900 (Aldershot, England: Ashgate/Variorum, 1999-2010).
