Vierteljahrschrift fuer Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte

Journal & supplement series

The Vierteljahrschrift fuer Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte (VSWG), founded in 1903, is the oldest journal for social and economic history; it regularly addresses theoretical and methodological questions and analyzes the state of research in the field. In 1923, the first volume in the supplement series was published.

In the area of social history, the VSWG is concerned with social policy, social developments, and individual social groups and strata in Europe from the Middle Ages to the 21st century, among other things. Its studies in economic history analyze economic policy, economic order, and financial history. It also includes the themes of Nazi economic policy and articles on the history of transportation and communications systems: Economic developments of any and all varieties can be described and discussed in its pages.
