Markets and Growth in Early Modern Europe

Victoria N. Bateman

This is the first study to analyze a wide spread of price data to determine whether market development led to economic growth in the early modern period. Bateman compares agricultural data with less abundant information on cloth, candles and olive oil from numerous European cities. Using a range of economic measures applied to a larger set of goods, she shows that market development occurred earlier than was previously believed.

"'Throughout the book the language and presentation are accessible and largely non-technical. ... The conclusion is both plausible and reassuring.'"
