Ann Coenen sheds new light on the vigorous debate about international trade and economic development in the Early Modern Period. The Austrian Netherlands offer an intriguing case that challenges ruling opinions within the largely Anglo-Saxon literature. By focusing on a number of key trade sectors (salt, textiles, colonial commodities, coal and grain) Ann Coenen exposes the various effects of trade and trade policy throughout all layers of the eighteenth-century society.Library of Economic History6.Economic developmentNetherlandsHistory18th centuryEconomic developmentBelgiumHistory18th centuryNetherlandsCommerceHistory18th centuryBelgiumCommerceHistory18th centuryNetherlandsHistory1714-1795BelgiumHistory1648-1794Economic developmentHistoryEconomic developmentHistory382.09493Coenen Ann1474356NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910787935503321Carriers of growth3688015UNINA
