Abstract: "This paper considers the ways in which some investors in the early modern markets viewed the riskiness of the great trading projects launched c. 1700. The focus will be on the trading and financial nexus of the Georgian state, the Royal Navy and the two joint-stock companies which were engaged in the Asiento trade, namely the Royal African and South Sea Companies. However, the Darien scheme will also be used as a counterpoint to this case study. "
