Recenzii
Finally, a specific tale is told to complement the general history of Ottoman industrialization and economic development in the nineteenth century. Lapavitzas and Cakiroglu bring earlier theoretical debates on the transition to capitalism back in and blend them with extensive empirical evidence from distinct sources to shed light on the experience of a region in its path to capitalist development. Naoussa stands out as a centre of Ottoman industrial capitalism with the dynamic participation of local families in textile manufacturing and commercial activity throughout this period. This small town and its surrounding region, namely, Mount Vermion, encapsulate prime features of Ottoman modernization, namely, Tanzimat, and demonstrate at its best the characteristics of late Ottoman capitalism. Although "the region amounted to little more than a small pocket of industrial capitalism," the authors argue, its experience offers some fresh insights into the study of Ottoman economic history and European economic development in the age of the Industrial Revolution.
The study is an important contribution to the debate on industrialisation in the late Ottoman Empire. It focuses on the as yet almost totally neglected south-western Macedonian case, pointing out the internal social dynamics of urban and rural economic transformation, but also the powerful constraints under which industialisation occurred. The research is also original in that it demonstrates the decisive impact of political and institutional factors on regional economic development. It shows, on the one hand, how the Ottoman administration strove to face the challenges of European industrial and geopolitical competition by providing incentives to industrialists, only to falter under the growing pressure of ethnic and cultural antagonisms; and on the other, it demonstrates how the investments and entrepreneurial decisions of the dominant Greek Orthodox and Jewish industrialists were supported and greatly facilitated by local communal structures, in which they were securely and advantageously embedded. It is a must-read book for those interested in the economic and social history of Southeastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean during the surge of the first Globalisation.
In this interesting and well written book, Lapavitsas and Cakiroglu tell the unlikely story of the emergence of industrial capitalism in Ottoman Macedonia during the decades before World War I. They show how, despite the conditions of free trade, Jewish and Greek entrepreneurs made use of the existing natural resources as well as state policies to create a large industrial base in cotton spinning and wool weaving. It was not easy, however, to sustain this effort in an environment dominated by mostly small scale agriculture and in the age of rising nationalisms. There are important lessons in this insightful account also for those interested in the theoretical aspects of the rise of industrial capitalism.
