Type: Selected Bibliography

Taking as a starting point the Mediterranean and the Greek merchant entrepreneurs originating from the Ottoman Empire, the author tries to challenge some issues that deal with comparisons between merchants of different origin and similar economic behaviour, having in mind the danger of generalisations and the importance of complexity and multiplicity that characterise merchant's agency particularly in the long 19th century.
