Conclusion.
Summary:
"In
Law
, Debt, and Merchant Power, James Muir offers an extensive analysis of the
civil
cases of the time as well as the reasons behind their frequency. Muir's lively and detailed account of the individuals involved in litigation reveals a paradoxical society where debtors were also debt-collectors.
Law
, Debt, and Merchant Power demonstrates how important the
law
was for people in their business affairs and how they shaped it for their own ends."--publisher's website.
