A Dutch Masterclass of Trading Conclusion Appendix BibliographyReviews"""A stimulating and unprecedented study that traces the everchanging relationship between an experienced Dutch trader and Greek outsiders in the 18th century. A fascinating revisit of the theme of cross-cultural trade through microhistory."" --Thierry Allain, Paul Valéry University of Montpellier, France ""Based on new primary data, this book analyzes - through the lens of micro-history - the trading activities of a partnership between an Ottoman firm, based in Smyrna and Constantinople, and a Dutch firm, based in Amsterdam. Given the near uniqueness of a study where the Ottoman company is the employer, rather than the agent or intermediary, the book contests the narrative of Western dominance and lack of agency for Ottomans in the Empire's international trade."" --Elena Frangakis-Syrett, The City University of New York, USA" Author InformationDespina Vlami is Director of Research in the Research Center for Medieval and Modern Hellenism of the Academy of Athens, Greece, where she directs a program on Trade and Diplomacy in the Eastern Mediterranean, 17th-19th centuries.
