PALGRAVE STUDIES IN ECONOMIC HISTORY CONTRACT...

This book presents a new economic history of London construction in the early modern period.
Drawing on extensive archival material from key sites such as St Paul¿s Cathedral and London
Bridge  it describes the organization of contracts and work on large-scale ¿extraordinary¿
projects and maintenance contracts in the city during a key period of architectural and
organizational development in Britain. Stephenson shows that the organisation of the industry
and the welfare of its workers were shaped by the contracts and finance of large institutions
and ambitious businessmen. Providing fresh wage and earnings data for craftsmen and labourers
during the period  it offers new material and debate for economic  business and construction
historians.
