Production pedlars and peasants in the early modern Southern Netherlands. Comparing the local economy.

This project aims to scrutinise the functioning of the local economies of two early modern regions. Using the expertise on the Alost region, a clear-cut, comparative study on the Land van Waas will be carried out. First, this project will focus on the development of a database, compiling some 600 households. Second, the database will be compared with the PhD-findings, resulting in international publications.
