Paola Lanaro (économiste.)

The articles in this volume position Venice and her economy from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century in relation to the larger European and Mediterranean context. In so doing, they engage firmly in a debate with recent historiographical discussions about European peripheries, the role of craft guilds and rural industries, the impact of fashion and demand-driven markets in the process of production specialization, and the emergence of regional markets and proto-industrial districts.
