Trade and Trust in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World
Fruitfully combining approaches from economic history and the cultural history of commerce, this book examines the role of interpersonal trust in underpinning trade, amid the challenges and uncertainties of the eighteenth-century Atlantic. It focuses on the nature of mercantile activity in two parts of Spain: Cadiz in the south, and its trade with Spain's American empire; and Bilbao in the north, and its trade with western and northern Europe. In particular, it explores the processes of trade, trading networks and communications, seeking to understand merchant behaviour, especially the choices made by individuals when conducting business - and specifically with whom they chose to deal. Drawing from a broad range of Spanish, Peruvian and British archival sources, the book reveals merchants' experiences of trusting their agents and correspondents, and shows how different factors, from distance to legal frameworks and ethnicity, affected their ability to rely on their contacts. Xabier Lamikiz is Associate Professor of Economic History at the University of the Basque Country. .

Catálogo del fondo histórico vasco
La Biblioteca Universitaria de Deusto ha elaborado este «Catálogo del Fondo Histórico Vasco 1831-1939» (F.H.V.) a partir de una selección de los registros bibliográficos de su Catálogo General informatizado, pertenecientes a dicha sección. El objetivo de esta edición impresa es difundir el conocimiento de esta colección entre investigadores y estudiosos de la cultura vasca escrita y publicada entre 1831 y 1939. El periodo 1831-1939 se ha delimitado, considerando 1831 el inicio de la imprenta mecánica y 1939, final de la Guerra Civil Española, acontecimiento que produjo enormes pérdidas en bibliotecas y colecciones particulares, por lo que merece su protección en la sección de reserva.
