Merchant networks generated trade and the exchange of goods between
the cities of early modern Europe. This collection of essays
analyses these commercial networks, focusing on the roles of
kinship, origin, religion and business in creating and maintaining
urban economies.
This volume contains selected essays which together re-frame the
roles of guilds in medieval and early modern European cities. They
focus on the different ways in which we can understand the
interfaces between regulatory frameworks, represented by guild and
civic regulations, and the wider world of labour and production.
Through case studies of single cities, economic sectors, and of
territories, they address a range of questions about the operation
of labour markets, the nature of guild regulation within and
outside guild jurisdictions, and the interaction between
`regulation' and `freedom' as expressed in legislation and in the
organization of production and distribution. In doing so, they
offer a means to compare and contrast experiences across Europe and
the circumstances which determined and altered economic structures
and, in turn, political and social structures in cities.
