Abstract

This Afterword offers reflections on the main findings of Land and credit, and points out possible directions for future research on mortgages. It provides an overview of some of the differences between England and civil law areas of Europe identified in the case study chapters; stresses the importance of variations in inheritance practices for understanding the frequency and character of mortgages; and seeks to make generalizations about chronological trends in the incidence of mortgaging over the period from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. It provides some sceptical comments of its own on the question of the relationship between property rights and the development of mortgage-based capital markets with their concomitant positive implications for economic growth. Where opportunities for fresh research are concerned the chapter notes, for instance, that one effect of the provision in this book of a series of studies on the rural mortgage is to reveal the need for fuller investigation of mortgage lending in urban centres.
