This talk presents a research project on monetary change, popular politics and everyday life in early modern Sweden. As in many other Europeans of the time, early modern Swedes had to cope with a volatile monetary system causing periods of inflation, cash shortages but also to comprehend and use novelties such as copper and paper money. The aim of the project is to understand the social and political ramifications of this process by examining money as a practical and political problem to be solved involving not only the elite but also regular people and their concepts and uses of money.
