  Trade and exchange drove the economy of sixteenth-century Europe. But despite the importance of trade, this is the first book to apply network theory and mathematical analysis to its study. Using Castilian merchant Simon Ruiz as a case study, Ribeiro explores the role of cooperation, reputation, trust and reciprocity across trading networks.
