Using a wide range of archival and written sources, Rudi Matthee
considers the economic, social and political networks established
between Iran, its neighbours and the world at large, through the
prism of the late Safavid silk trade. In so doing, he demonstrates
how silk, a resource crucial to state revenue and the only
commodity to span Iran's entire economic activity, was integral to
aspects of late Safavid society, including its approach to
commerce, export routes and, importantly, to the political and
economic problems which contributed to its collapse in the early
1700s. In a challenge to traditional scholarship, the author argues
that despite the introduction of a maritime, western-dominated
channel, Iran's traditional land-based silk export continued to
expand right up to the end of the seventeenth century. The book
makes a major theoretical contribution to the debates on the social
and economic history of the pre-modern world.
