By focussing on the pre-industrial period, the transition to industrialisation and the mechanisms behind it can be explored. Particular attention is given to the allocation of financial resources towards more productive and efficient economic activities and the role this played in economic divergence among societies. A comparative analysis with European societies highlights the importance of non-economic institutions during the pre-industrial period. This book aims to provide new analytical perspectives and ways of thinking about how the Ottoman Empire lost its powerful economic and political structures. It is relevant to students and researchers interested in economic history, law and economics, and the political economy. Bora Altay is an Economist at the Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, Turkey. Fuat O?uz is Professor of Economicsat Ankara Yildirim Beyazit University, Turkey. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Institutions, Economics and Law,$x2662-6543 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aLaw and Economics 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aLaw and Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 676 $a336.2009561 676 $a330.956 700 $aAltay$b Bora$01073246 702 $aOguz$b Fuat 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910503007603321 996 $aRules, Contracts and Law Enforcement in the Ottoman Empire$92569415 997 $aUNINA
