Opis

This book of collected essays--an outcome of an A-session held at the 12th International Congress of Economic History in Madrid, 1998--sets a new standard in an active and influential field of research. The contributors go beyond the conventional European and North American geographical boundaries, bringing out new empirical findings and developing new arguments.
