Trade Review“Since the longue durée is neglected all too often, this volume restores the balance between the short term and long-term in a positive way.” “Taking account of the long-term opens up the analysis to new viewpoints. […] At the same time, however, much of the present analysis of this volume relies on existing research that is based on in-depth studies with a shorter time span. Obviously, both are needed.” Marjolein ’t Hart in bmgn - Low Countries Historical Review 131.2 (2016), review 19 doi: 10.18352/bmgn-lchr.10197
