In this article, we analyse geographical, occupational and kinship ties amongst apprentices and their masters of the London Goldsmiths’ Company in the second half of the seventeenth century, at a time when the profession was undergoing radical change, thus forming the cradle of British banking. Systematic comparisons of social capital of the guild's two subgroups (the ‘Bankers’ and the ‘Craftsmen and Retailers’) show few such ties at entry and only slightly more amongst office-holders. Overall, ‘Bankers’ display slightly greater social ties in the company overall. Hypotheses for such patterns are discussed, including activity specificity, wealth and position in the guild and households’ economic strategies. The article calls for a household-based approach to economic choices as opposed to one focusing on the guild.

17世纪下半叶伦敦金匠公司的开放性:实证研究

在本文中,我们分析了 17 世纪下半叶伦敦金匠公司的学徒和他们的师傅之间的地理、职业和亲属关系,当时该行业正在发生根本性的变化,从而形成了英国银行业的摇篮. 对行会的两个子群体(“银行家”和“工匠和零售商”)的社会资本的系统比较表明,在进入时这种联系很少,而在公务员中则略多。总体而言,“银行家”在公司整体中的社会联系略显突出。讨论了这种模式的假设,包括活动特异性、财富和在行会中的地位以及家庭的经济战略。这篇文章呼吁以家庭为基础的经济选择方法,而不是专注于行会的方法。
