It follows their businesses around the world and shows how through wit, flexibility, and the help of a worldwide net of business partners the merchants were able to quickly rise to global entrepreneurs speculating on wars, food crises and slave revolts. The ramifications of their commerce were felt at home, where the merchants invested in land and city development, established new financial institutions and contributed to a rising consumer culture. This book brings together global and local history, arguing that private actors played an important role in the economic and social development of the young United States. 410 0$aLibrary of economic history ;$vVolume 10. 606 $aMerchants$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory 606 $aBusiness networks$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory 606 $aInternational trade$xHistory 615 0$aMerchants$xHistory. 615 0$aBusiness networks$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational trade$xHistory. 676 $a382.097471 700 $aSturm-Lind$b Lisa$01628044 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814607003321 996 $aActors of globalization$93964921 997 $aUNINA
