Merchants, Pirates, and Smugglers

English

Product details

In the history of maritime trade, a distinction has traditionally been made between legitimate trade and illicit practices. But what we today consider "illicit" was often perceived as legitimate until
the assertion of the sovereign state, because it took place within the rules of the game of economic life. Depending on how well an actor could enforce his idea, he was perceived as a pirate, a smuggler, a merchant or an admiral.
