Adósok és hitelezők. A Károlyi család közös kasszája a 19. századi kimutatásokban
Debtors and Creditors. The Common Purse of the Károlyi Family in the 19th Registers

Summary/Abstract: Based on the registers of loans and debts made by the joint estate administration of the Károlyi family, the paper explores the evolution of debt management within the joint family purse and the personal network of the creditors and debtors. Their strategy, moreover, is compared with the credit policy pursued by the joint purse of the Harruckern heirs. The case study highlights the differences between the Károlyi and Harruckern joint purses on the one hand, and the separately administered funds belonging to the Károlyi family and György Károlyi on the other, thereby nuancing our view of the local credit market.
