Description and Table of Contents
Description
These studies by the distinguished economic and social historian Herman Van der Wee together provide a superb guide to the history of this key region of the economy in the early modern period. The coverage ranges from broad European introductory surveys to detailed studies, and embraces the history of trade agricultural and industrial production, prices and monetary history, consumption and diet in the Ancien Regime. Based throughout on detailed reconstruction of statistical sources - many not previously explored - the bulk of these essays have been translated from Dutch or French and appeared in publications which have sometimes been difficult of access to English readers.
