The regulation of bread prices is a prime contemporary concern, and this study delves into its significance in the early modern period of Europe. Jan de Vries uses the Dutch Republic as a case study to examine how the market functioned, how the regulatory system evolved, and how it interacted with producers and consumers. The ways in which consumer behavior adapted to these structures and the state's interactions with producers and consumers had profound implications for measuring living standards in this era. The long-term consequences of the Dutch state's interventions reveal the intricate link between capitalist economies and regulatory fiscal regimes. The humble loaf serves as a prism through which to explore major developments in early modern European society and the impact of public market regulation on private economic life.
