Dissertation note: Volume IV The economy of expanding Europe in sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Summary: The fourth and fifth volumes of the Cambridge Economic History cover the period of world economic development between the end of the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution. It was a period of the most spectacular price rise hitherto experienced in Europe, and of the so-called 'commercial revolution': both closely connected with colonial expansion and something approaching a population 'ex plosion'. The two volumes have been planned so that Volume IV deals with the context within which economic growth and development took place-population movement, scientific ideas and achievements, prices, patterns of trade and trade-routes, labour supply, the nature of large-scale company organization, mercan tilist theories and policies; and Volume V (still in preparation and planned for publication in 1969) will deal directly with the central me chanisms of production in agriculture and industry, the apparatus of credit, problems of international trade, the functions of the State as producer, consumer and fiscal authority, and with economic activity in relation to changing social structure.

Volume IV
The economy of expanding Europe in sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

The fourth and fifth volumes of the Cambridge Economic History cover the period of world economic development between the end of the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution. It was a period of the most spectacular price rise hitherto experienced in Europe, and of the so-called 'commercial revolution': both closely connected with colonial expansion and something approaching a population 'ex plosion'.

The two volumes have been planned so that Volume IV deals with the context within which economic growth and development took place-population movement, scientific ideas and achievements, prices, patterns of trade and trade-routes, labour supply, the nature of large-scale company organization, mercan tilist theories and policies; and Volume V (still in preparation and planned for publication in 1969) will deal directly with the central me chanisms of production in agriculture and industry, the apparatus of credit, problems of international trade, the functions of the State as producer, consumer and fiscal authority, and with economic activity in relation to changing social structure.
