This book shows how England's conquest of Mediterranean trade proved to be the first step in building its future economic and commercial hegemony, and how Italy lay at the heart of that process. The author looks well beyond Braudel's influential picture of a Spanish-dominated Mediterranean world and sheds fresh light on Italy's gradual commercial decline.
