An Economic History of the Iberian Peninsula, 700–2000
This is a comprehensive long-run history of economic and political change in the Iberian Peninsula. Beginning with the development of the old medieval kingdoms, it goes on to explore two countries, Portugal and Spain, which during the early modern period possessed vast empires and played an essential role in the global economic and political developments. It traces how and why both countries began to fall behind during the first stages of industr…
The Greater Mediterranean Slave Trade
A This chapter builds on recent scholarship to assert that the Greater Mediterranean region has been host to large-scale, multicultural, and multi-ethnic slave systems, without a break, from ancient times through the twentieth century. This chapter provides the contours of these systems for the medieval millennium, with a focus on the emergence of ‘Renaissance’ slavery in later medieval southern Europe. It then covers the major theoretical models…

The Land Commenda in the Late Medieval Crown of Aragon and the Rise of a ‘Democratic’ Investment Culture
This paper presents evidence for the use of the ‘commenda’ contract as a means of investment and accumulating entrepreneurial capital in the Bages region of Catalonia during the later thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This use of a ‘land commenda’ in eastern Iberia is at present known only to a few specialists, but it might have been more widespread and deserves further study. The land commenda helped fuel the commercial boom in Catalonia in t…
Slaving Zones
Listen to podcast on “Slaving Zones, Contemporary Slavery and Citizenship: Reflections from the Brazilian Case”. In Slaving Zones: Cultural Identities, Ideologies, and Institutions in the Evolution of Global Slavery, fourteen authors—including both world-leading and emerging historians of slavery—engage with the ‘Slaving Zones’ theory. This theory has recently taken the field of Mediterranean slavery studies by storm, and the challenge posed by t…
Introduction. Slaving Zones in Global History
Occupation, Family, and Inheritance in Fourteenth-Century Barcelona
This article aims to provide a snapshot of the Barcelona urban elite during a crucial phase in the city’s transition to early modernity – the decades after the Black Death. Between 1356 and 1375, the Crown of Aragon, of which Barcelona was the principal city, was locked in a doubtful struggle with Castile over Aragon’s very independence. During the war, the financial officers of King Pere III of Catalonia-Aragon (1336–87) perfected a unique publi…

Let's talk about class
For a quarter century, the term ‘class’ has been anathema for most writers of premodern urban history. The term's associations with discredited forms of analysis – forms often dubiously but persistently associated with Marxism – continue to hamper its reintroduction. In the absence of ‘class’, or a term like it, however, meaningful discussion of ‘horizontal’ divisions in urban society has dwindled. The present article suggests that ‘class’ can an…
Gregory B. Milton. Market Power
The conclusion of this book states that it represents “only [the] beginning” of an ongoing analysis of the Catalan market town of Santa Coloma de Queralt and its economy. Indeed, it is in many respects a promising beginning, and my main quibble is that a different emphasis in the collection, analysis, and presentation of data was not undertaken before publication. Gregory B. Milton's reconstruction of Santa Coloma and its market is almost exclusi…
