It marked a discontinuity with erudition and antiquarianism, and interacted critically with universal history. By comparing and linking the histories of individual peoples within a common historical process, this genre enriched the reflection on civilisation that emerged during the long eighteenth century. Those who looked to the past wanted to understand the political constitutions and manners most appropriate to commerce, and grasp the recurring mechanisms underlying economic development. In this sense, histories of trade constituted a declination of eighteenth-century political economy, and thus became an invaluable analytical and practical tool for a galaxy of academic scholars, journalists, lawyers, administrators, diplomats and government ministers whose ambition was to reform the political, social and economic structure of their nations. Moreover, thanks to these investigations, a lucid awareness of historical temporality and, more particularly, the irrepressible precariousness of economic hegemonies, developed. However, as a field of tension in which multiple and even divergent intellectual sensibilities met, this literary genre also found space for critical assessments that focused on the ambivalence and dangers of commercial civilisation. Examining the complex relationship between the production of wealth and civilisation, this book provides unique insights for scholars of political economy, intellectual history and economic history. Antonella Alimento is Professor of Early Modern History at the University of Pisa, Italy. She specialises in European political and economic history and is Co-Editor (with Koen Stapelbroek) of The Politics of Commercial Treaties in the Eighteenth Century (Palgrave, 2017). Aris Della Fontana is a doctoral student at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, Italy, and the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. 001441704 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001441704 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 001441704 650_0 $$aCommerce$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 001441704 650_0 $$aCivilization$$xHistory. 001441704 650_6 $$aCommerce$$xAspect social$$xHistoire. 001441704 650_6 $$aCivilisation$$xHistoire. 001441704 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001441704 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001441704 7001_ $$aAlimento, A.$$q(Antonella),$$eeditor. 001441704 7001_ $$aDella Fontana, Aris,$$eeditor. 001441704 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tHISTORIES OF TRADE AS HISTORIES OF CIVILIZATION.$$d[S.l.] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2021$$z3030800865$$w(OCoLC)1255174110 001441704 852__ $$bebk 001441704 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-80087-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001441704 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1441704$$pGLOBAL_SET 001441704 980__ $$aBIB 001441704 980__ $$aEBOOK 001441704 982__ $$aEbook 001441704 983__ $$aOnline 001441704 994__ $$a92$$bISE
