Georgian London

The 7th chapter of this book is about the city of London during the Georgian period in history. One of the most significant developments in London at this time was the development of brokers and bankers and the establishment of loans, credit and debts. Authorities in England took debt incredibly seriously; arresting thousands of people who had even a minimal amount of debt. Debt was seen as something to be acquired by the nation as a whole, not by individuals. I also found the parts about composer Handel interesting. I have performed some of his Messiah piece before in choir in high school.
