With a focus on customs, laws, and organisational structures, this book reveals the Italian origins of marine insurance, and tracks the spread of underwriting practices and institutions in Europe and America through the early modern era. With contributions from eleven leading researchers from seven countries, the book examines key institutional developments in the history of marine insurance. The authors discuss its invention in Italy, and its evolution from private to corporate structures, assessing the causes and impacts of various state interventions. Amsterdam and Antwerp are analysed as one-time key centres of underwriting, as is the emergence and maturity of marine insurance in London. The book evaluates an experiment in corporate underwriting in Cadiz, and the development of insurance institutions in the United States, before applying the metrics of underwriting to discuss commerce raiding in the Atlantic up to the nineteenth century. 000753669 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed February 12, 2016). 000753669 650_0 $$aMarine insurance$$xHistory. 000753669 7001_ $$aLeonard, Adrian,$$eeditor. 000753669 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781137411372$$z1137411376$$w(DLC) 2015023487$$w(OCoLC)911518551 000753669 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in the history of finance. 000753669 852__ $$bebk 000753669 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/9781137411389$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000753669 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:753669$$pGLOBAL_SET 000753669 980__ $$aEBOOK 000753669 980__ $$aBIB 000753669 982__ $$aEbook 000753669 983__ $$aOnline 000753669 994__ $$a92$$bISE
