A prime contemporary concern - how to maintain fair market
relations - is addressed through this study of the regulation of
bread prices. This was the single most important economic reality
of Europe's daily life in the early modern period. Jan de Vries
uses the Dutch Republic as a case study of how the market
functioned and how the regulatory system evolved and acted. The
ways in which consumer behaviour adapted to these structures, and
the state interacted with producers and consumers in the pursuit of
its own interests, had major implications for the measurement of
living standards in this period. The long-term consequences of the
Dutch state's interventions reveal how capitalist economies, far
from being the outcome of unfettered market economics, are
inextricably linked with regulatory fiscal regimes. The humble loaf
serves as a prism through which to explore major developments in
early modern European society and how public market regulation
affected private economic life.
