The Politics of Trade in Safavid Iran: Silk for Silver, 1600-1730 (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization) Book

This is the first book to consider the economic, social and political importance of the silk trade in Safavid Iran. It focuses on four aspects of this trade; the role of silk in Iranian commercial policy, the interaction between agents of the state and foreign merchants, the routes along which silk was transported and, critically, the economic and social difficulties which contributed to the collapse of the regime in the 1720s. This represents a major contribution to the current debates on the social and economic history of the pre-modern world.Read More
