Production and Consumption in the Low Countries, 13th-16th Centuries: Variorum Collected Studies

Autor Raymond van Uytven
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 dec 2001
The subject of this volume is the relationship between production and consumption, considered not only as the supply and demand sides of economic life, but within the broader context of the societies of the Low Countries between the 12th and the 16th centuries. Amongst the topics covered are the reality of the so-called 'late medieval depression', comparisons between the great merchant cities of Bruges and Antwerp, and the actual importance of the trade in art and luxury goods. One group of articles then looks in detail at the cloth industry, which remained the mainstay of the region's wealth, and the effects upon it of changes in technology and in fashion, while the volume concludes with two studies specially translated from Dutch, on wine and beer consumption.

Recenzii

'... will arouse new interest in research and/or in the debate about one of the most important phases in the origin of the Low Countries' economic and social growth.' The Journal of European Economic History 'The essays are all excellent examples of solid scholarship. Those interested in the social and economic history of early modern Europe and unfamiliar with the work of Raymond van Uyten should make it a point to read these essays.' Sixteenth Century Journal
