Important aspects were thus ignored such as how frequently were wages actually paid, how much of the wage was paid in non-monetary form - whether as traditional perquisites or community relief - especially when there was often insufficient coinage available to pay wages. Covering a wide geographical area, ranging from Spain to Finland, and time span, ranging from the sixteenth century to the 1930s, this volume offers fresh perspectives on key areas in social and economic history such as the relationship between customs, moral economy, wages and the market, changing pay and wage forms and the relationship between age, gender and wages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"This is a volume that is to be welcomed both for providing new and intersint findings, that suggest new answers to old questions, and for opening new and exciting avenues for future research.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  Economic History Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Figures and Tables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e The wage in Europe since the sixteenth century\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePeter Scholliers\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLeonard Schwarz\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eCustom, Wages and the Market\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Institutional and cultural change in wage formation: port labour in Antwerp (sixteenth – eighteenth centuries)\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHarald Deceulaer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e When labour hires capital: evidence from Lancashire, 1870–1914\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMichael Huberman\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Giving notice: the legitimate way of quitting and firing (Ghent, 1877–1896)\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePatricia Van den Eeckhout\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChanging Pay Systems and Wage Forms\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Wage forms, wage systems and wage conflicts in German crafts during the eighteenth and earlier nineteenth centuries\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eReinhold Reith\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Wage forms, pay systems and labour control in nineteenth-century agriculture.
