Abstract: Abstract Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, the growth of the financial economy and banking institutions in Europe accompanied an increasingly exclusionary feature of citizenship. This political and economic process dovetails with the production, during the same period, of a multitude of theoretical writings aimed to justify violence and war against people not recognizable as members of the European society self-representing as a collective rational subject unified by specific economic, political, and religious rules.
