Global Trade, Smuggling, and the Making of Economic Liberalism

Asian Textiles in France 1680-1760

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This charts the impact of global trade on early modern France focusing on Asian textiles. The ban in 1686 led to vast smuggling, illicit retail, and consumer revolts, but also to an effort by the French administration to acquire the technology for their production, and ultimately to the first victory of the liberal Enlightenment political economy.
