Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the emergence of guilds or Zünfte in the Swiss city of Basel from the end of the 12th century up until the end of the 17th century. Contemporary with similar developments in other European cities, the emergence of these social and economic organizations in Basel is placed in the context of a city enjoying newly acquired rights and freedoms from the bishop. The author thoroughly investigates the gradual rise of Basel's Zünfte, starting from their social, economic, and legal origins, analyzing their varied organizational structures. The volume reveals that the Zünfte were not solely economic entities centered around production and trade, but rather a polyvalent social force that defined important aspects of the life of their members, sometimes even infringing on the authority of the bishop and the town council. The book argues that the Basel Zünfte were a key element in the development of the modern democratic, free market society that Switzerland represents today.
