- Based on original research into 22 French national and regional archives, material evidence from international museums, and extensive new statistical data, this monograph revolutionises our understanding of early modern France as a society indelibly shaped by its global entanglements. It demonstrates the impact of global trading links on the French state’s practices of policing, its industrial and scientific programmes, on knowledge transfer and industrial espionage, on smuggling, on consumer cultures, and on the development of Enlightenment economic liberalism. It has been described as ‘a model monograph’ which ‘deepen[s] our understanding of the entire ancient régime and how it worked’.
