This book analyses a peculiar phase in the history of Stockholm
which has not previously been systematically investigated. Between
1750 and 1850 the Swedish capital experienced long-term stagnation,
characterized by de-industrialization and slow population growth.
In this study various aspects of the economic and social history of
the period are examined in detail, including the decline of
manufacturing, the causes of the extremely high rates of mortality
and extra-marital fertility, and the distribution of economic
resources. Social and spatial patterns of poverty are described and
the trends and fluctuations in prices and real wages charted and
compared with other European towns and cities.
