The principal market was northwestern Europe, but for much of the time between 1550 and 1630 Portugal was drawn into the conflict between Habsburg Spain and the Dutch Republic. In spite of political obstacles, the trade persisted because it was not subject to monopolies and was relatively lightly regulated and taxed. The investment structure was highly international, as Portugal and northwestern Europe exchanged communities of merchants who were mobile and inter-imperial in both their composition and organization. This conclusion challenges an imperial or mercantilist perspective of the Atlantic economy in its earliest phases. 410 0$aAtlantic world (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vv. 16. 606 $aSugar trade$zBrazil$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aSugar trade$zBrazil$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aSugar trade$zEurope, Northern$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aSugar trade$zEurope, Northern$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aSugar trade$xHistory 615 0$aSugar trade$xHistory 615 0$aSugar trade$xHistory 615 0$aSugar trade$xHistory 676 $a382/.4566410981 686 $a15.85$2bcl 686 $a15.70$2bcl 700 $aEbert$b Christopher$01570618 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778697303321 996 $aBetween empires$93844378 997 $aUNINA
