New approaches in economic, social, labour and institutional
history have re-examined guilds - not least within the framework of
a re-appraisal of the classic distinction between the "capitalist"
and "pre-capitalist" modes of production. These fresh approaches
are unravelling the reasons why guilds were established, and why
they could maintain themselves so long. International comparisons
have fostered this rejuvenation of guild studies; awareness is
growing that guilds are not just a European phenomenon, but have
been prominent all over Northern Africa and the Middle East, as
well as in many parts of Asia, including China and Japan. This
volume attempts to set up a comparative framework to analyse the
functioning of guilds from West to East, in the period between
Classical Antiquity and the Industrial Revolution.
