Breaking with much current theory, the approach detailed here ? the ?Restricted Verticality Perspective? ? examines the horizontal dimension of social relations, and understands informality not as marginal or substandard, but as life itself, as the real experience of ordinary people. 606 $aTrade routes$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aBusiness networks$zEurope$xHistory 615 0$aTrade routes$xHistory. 615 0$aBusiness networks$xHistory. 676 $a382.094 700 $aIrek$b Ma?gorzata$01579720 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796818703321 996 $aTravelling with the argonauts$93860007 997 $aUNINA
