Profound changes took place in its European territories, particularly and prominently in Macedonia. In the decades before the First World War, industrial capitalism began to emerge in Ottoman Macedonia and its impact was felt across society.\u003cbr\u003eThe port city of Salonica was at the epicentre of this transformation, led by its Jewish community. But the most remarkable site of development was found deep in provincial Macedonia, where industrial capitalism sprang from domestic sources in spite of unfavourable conditions. Ottoman Greek traders and industrialists from the region of Mount Vermion helped shape the economic trajectory of 'Turkey in Europe', and competed successfully against Jewish capitalists from Salonica.\u003cbr\u003eThe story of Ottoman Macedonian capitalism was nearly forgotten in the century that followed the demise of the Empire. This book pieces it together by unearthing Ottoman archival materials combined with Greek sources and field research. It offers a fresh perspective on late Ottoman economic history and will be an invaluable resource for scholars of Ottoman, Greek and Turkish history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished in Association with the British Institute at Ankara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Costas Lapavitsas, Pinar Cakiroglu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755642775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755642779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d","brand":"Costas Lapavitsas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059634794751,"sku":"9780755642779","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38d86c2e-83a8-4448-9a87-928c195bed82.jpg?v=1685059416","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/capitalism-in-the-ottoman-balkans-costas-lapavitsas-9780755642779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
