Beschreibung
Shadow economies and non-regular work practices are historically not new phenomena. Before the rise of the modern welfare state, there was already a broad range of economic activities which were regarded as non-regular, though not necessarily illicit. Although they constituted an important part of economic life, these activities have not yet been studied closely or from diverse perspectives. The articles in this volume explore multifaceted aspects of shadow economies in European cities from the 16th to the early 20th centuries. The volume thus contributes a historical perspective to ongoing debates about the relationship between work, welfare and the state.
