Jews and New Christians in the Making of the Atlantic World in the 16th-17th Centuries
Henryk Szlajfer
In Jews and New Christians in the Making of the Atlantic World in the 16th-17th Centuries: A Survey, Henryk Szlajfer describes the ways New Christians and Jews contributed to the rise of the Atlantic economy by developing non-corporate world-wide trade networks, their involvement in the New World sugar plantations, and the role they played until mid-17th century in the slave trade. He argues that persecutions of New Christians by the Inquisition were a critical variable in explaining the destruction of this unique example of early modern entrepreneurship.
