Merchants worldwide shared trading interests. These interests shaped a panoply of encounters of mercantile cultures across space and time. From these encounters, power, subjugation and conflict arose as part of the same world as cooperation, cross-culturalism and cosmopolitism. Understanding early modern merchant cultures is thus paramount to comprehend the sinews of globalization before 1800. This book sketches the commonalities and underlines the differences of mercantile practices and representations during the Early Modern period.
