This book aims to provide a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the illicit economy in early modern Europe, taking into account its multi-dimensional, multi-layered, and gendered aspects. By utilizing original source material from various countries, particularly focusing on the Lyon-Geneva-Turin triangle, which played a central role in European trade, the volume seeks to shed light on the activities and dynamics of the black market during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
The book concentrates on three key products: salt, cotton, and silk, which played a significant role in fueling the black market in this region. These products were in high demand and were often smuggled across borders, leading to lucrative profits for those involved in the trade.
By examining the economic life of remote mountain communities and bustling cities, the book offers an original contribution to the broader studies of smuggling, illicit markets, and women's economic roles. It demonstrates that irregular practices were a structural characteristic of early modern economies, and it provides valuable insights into the opportunities that women had in a highly flexible economy where licit and illicit activities were intertwined in complex ways.
The research monograph is designed to appeal to a historical audience and serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in gender history, social and economic history, urban history, and French studies. It offers a detailed examination of the illicit economy in early modern Europe, providing a deeper understanding of the complex social, economic, and cultural factors that shaped this period.
