This volume examines the non-contractual employment relationships (slavery and servitude) which have long characterized the European economy, albeit with very different trends in different areas. The essays contained in it examine the evolution of servitude (seen as the economic side of the lords’ regime) and the different forms of personal submission, up to the actual slave trade, of which European merchants were the protagonists, highlighting a situation which was much more complex and articulated than the traditional interpretative schemes suggested.
