The business world of the eleventh-century Geniza merchants, or 'Maghribi traders', is central to debates about the origins of long-term economic growth and the institutional bases of trade. This book maps the shifting geographic relationships of the medieval Islamic economy and explores the foundations of later European economic dominance.
