 As being an economist by training and being interested in social history, business history and the history of ideas I am not a microhistorian in the strict sense of the word although I like the ideas of microhistory. The research project I am working now on (with my colleague, Dr. Judit Klement) shows somewhat my relation to microhistory: to investigate a global phenomenon, capitalism, in one of its earlier editions (to label it: the liberal one) in Hungary through business and private inventories, invoices, bills of exchange with all of the endorsements and testimonies of criminal suits that survived in the bankruptcy cases of 1869 int the Archive of Budapest.
