Topics covered include logistics, supply, recruitment, and the finance of war. Chapters have been carefully commissioned with an eye towards complementarity. In an introduction co-written with Marjolein ‘t Hart and Griet Vermeesch, Fynn-Paul challenges existing discourses of military entrepreneurialism. A new benchmark is proposed: did states choose to work with entrepreneurs, or to restrict their activities and subvert the market? From the introduction and the individual chapters, a new more expansive vision of the military entrepreneur emerges. Contributors are: Carlos Álvarez-Nogal, Pepijn Brandon, William Caferro, Stephen Conway, Thomas Goossens, Aaron Graham, Rhoads Murphey, David Parrott, Helen Paul, Guy Rowlands, Kahraman Şakul, Marjolein 't Hart, Andrea Thiele, and Rafael Torres Sánchez.History of warfare ;Volume 97.WarEconomic aspectsEuropeHistoryWarEconomic aspectsMediterranean RegionHistoryBusinesspeopleEuropeHistoryBusinesspeopleMediterranean RegionHistoryEuropeHistory, MilitaryMediterranean RegionHistory, MilitaryEuropePolitics and government476-1492EuropePolitics and government1492-1648EuropePolitics and government1648-1789Mediterranean RegionPolitics and governmentElectronic books.WarEconomic aspectsHistory.WarEconomic aspectsHistory.BusinesspeopleHistory.BusinesspeopleHistory.355.0094Fynn-Pa JeffMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458311703321War, entrepreneurs, and the state in Europe and the Mediterranean, 1300-18001987095UNINA
