The Ottoman empire stood at the crossroads of intercontinental
trade at the dawn of the era of capitalism. This volume examines
the monetary history of that empire from its beginnings in the
fourteenth century to the end of the first world war. Through a
detailed examination of the currencies and related institutions of
an empire which stretched from the Balkans through Anatolia, Syria,
Egypt and the Gulf to the Maghrib, the book demonstrates the
complexity of the monetary arrangements and their evolution in
response to both local developments and global economic forces. The
volume also affords some valuable insights into social and
political history and the evolution of Ottoman institutions. This
is an important book by one of the most distinguished economic
historians in the field.
