This volume is a contribution to the discussion surrounding the theory that the origin of free enterprise institutions in Europe was connected closely with the division of the continent into fragments. The author focuses on the very fragmented Holy Roman Empire between the 11th and the 18th century. Oliver Volckart looks into the question of how competition between political protagonists in the Empire for the assistance of potential supporters and competition berween territorial political authorities for mobile production factors affected the development of those institutions within which the competition on economic markets takes place.
