This volume presets a collection of interrelated essays written by international scholars from Europe and North America working on the relationship between commerce and culture from c.1750 to the early-twentieth century. Considerable attention has recently been focused on the importance of social networks and business culture in reducing transaction costs both in the pre-industrial period and during the nineteenth century and these essays underline the centrality of this across a broad international setting. As such the volume provides an important addition to the available literature in this field and will attract a wide readership amongst business cultural maritime economic social and urban historians as well as historical anthropologists sociologists and other social scientists whose research embraces a longer-term perspective.
