Abstract: Abstract As this chapter argues, since the early modern period economic discourse increasingly moved away from a purely agrarian-focused household or demesne management literature towards incorporating wider ideas and conceptions about markets, economy, industry and international competition. In many ways the mercantilist and Cameralist economic literature—which has left broad traces in our modern conceptions and understandings of market and economy—transcended traditional economic framings which had centred either on the region, the respective city or the individual household and came to address economic questions (value added, prices, wages, exchange rates, industrial competition, etc.) within a territorial, and thus emerging macroscopic frame.
