Recent Studies on the Economic History of Venice

Frederic C. Lane

The Journal of Economic History, 1963, vol. 23, issue 3, 312-334

Abstract: The economic development of Venice claims attention for several reasons. As the birthplace of capitalism, Venice has been assigned a leading role in a semi-Marxist scheme of world history. Within a more specifically historical and geographical framework, it presents a classic case of maturity and decay. After being for centuries a leader among world markets it was so placed as to register the effects of the oceanic shift in the world's trade during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
