Inside the Illicit Economy: Reconstructing the Smugglers' Trade of Sixteenth Century Bristol
Evan T. Jones
From the moment governments began making money from levying duty on imported goods, a smuggling trade developed to avoid paying such taxes. Whilst the popular image of smugglers remains an essentially romantic one, this book makes clear that smuggling was a large-scale systematic business that relied on the connivance of well-connected merchants.
