Opis

Describes how the mercantile system was made to work as London established itself as the capital of the Atlantic empire.

Recenzje

"...Zahedieh's book points to the urgent need for further comparative studies on the Atlantic world from other vantage points than the port of London. For such studies, The Capital and the Colonies offers and excellent model." -Karel Davids, Canadian Journal of History
