Shadow Economies in the Globalising World

This book explores how and why various global wares ended up in Scandinavian borderlands during the eighteenth-century, and analyses what smuggling can reveal about the emergence of global trade, the formation of the nation state, and the development of consumer society in Europe’s northernmost outskirts.

Aceasta carte exploreaza cum si de ce diverse marfuri globale au ajuns in zonele de frontiera scandinave in secolul al XVIII-lea si analizeaza ce poate dezvalui contrabanda despre aparitia comertului global, formarea statului national si dezvoltarea societatii de consum in periferiile nordice ale Europei.
