Ashgate Variorum
Hardback

1996
The first volume concerned with general trade and political economy approaches the topic from the viewpoint of individual trading nations in the Atlantic - England France Ireland Spain - whilst not neglecting the importance of regions like West Africa. Rivalry between the different national traders is also considered as well as the vexed question of the relation of trade to the old colonial empires. The impact of administration war and regulation as reflected by the contraband issue highlights the strong political element in the developing Atlantic commercial world.
