About This Book

A collection of didactic narratives dramatizes principles of political economy through episodes among merchants, families, and artisans in a commercial port setting. One thread follows a merchant's death and its effects on kin and business, another traces the workings and risks of bills of exchange and monetary instruments among trading partners, and others contrast industrial and seafaring livelihoods to explore labour, credit, and market relations. Scenes move between domestic arrangements, legal and moral dilemmas, and community responses to economic change, illustrating how abstract economic concepts shape everyday decisions and social obligations.
