Reviews

""A remarkable study of market governance where the government is dispersed, diffuse, and at odds with itself. Omar Cheta masterfully weaves together rich and detailed character studies with perceptive structural analysis of how Egyptian commerce was brought under the rule of many laws."" --Johan Mathew, Rutgers University ""This book makes a unique contribution to the economic historiography of Khedival Egypt. Omar Cheta deftly narrates both Egypt's incorporation into the world market and the lives of local merchants, offering important insight into business strategies and merchants' mastery of new means of transport and communications."" --Pascale Ghazaleh, The American University in Cairo ""How Commerce Became Legal sheds significant new light on the history of Egypt. Omar Cheta excavates the hitherto lost world of commercial regulation and adjudication in the Khedival period."" --Kenneth Cuno, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
