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.

Early Modern Trading Networks in Europe discusses the importance of reciprocity mechanisms, trust and reputation in the context of early modern business relations, using network analysis methodology, combining quantitative data with qualitative information. It considers how cooperation and prevention could simultaneously create a business relationship, and describes the mechanisms of control, policing and punishment used to avoid opportunism and deception among a group of business partners. Using bills of exchange and correspondence from Simon Ruiz''s private archive, it charts the evolution of this business network through time, debating which criteria should be included or excluded from business networks, as well as the emergence of standards.
