摘要
亚历杭德罗·加西亚-蒙顿的《热那亚企业家与合同奴隶贸易(1650—1700)》从多梅尼科·格里洛的商业活动入手,探讨了17世纪热那亚人的经济活动。1627年,布罗代尔所言的“热那亚时代”结束,热那亚人逐渐失去对金融市场的控制力。与此同时,北欧势力逐渐主导全球贸易市场。但热那亚人并未退出世界贸易舞台,在从17世纪中期开始的“后热那亚时代”,以格里洛为代表的热那亚商人通过西班牙王室授予的垄断权,积极参与到大西洋奴隶贸易中,形成跨越大西洋,连接非洲、加勒比海地区和西属美洲的贸易网络。他们的活动改变了奴隶贸易的特性,影响了全球商业网络,同时,也使热那亚城成为全球贸易的重要一环。
Alejandro García-Montón’s monograph Genoese Entrepreneurship and the Asiento Slave Trade,1650-1700 examines Genoese economic activity in the 17th century by tracing the business ventures of Domenico Grillo.The“Age of the Genoese”,as described by Fernand Braudel,came to an end in 1627 as the Genoese gradually lost dominance of the financial markets.The global trade market was also increasingly taken over by Northern Europe.However,the Genoese did not leave the globed trading stage.During the“post-Genoese era”,which began in the middle of the 17th century,with the asiento granted by the Spanish Crown,Genoese merchants,represented by Grillo,took an active part in the Atlantic slave trade,forming a commercial network across the Atlantic Ocean and connected Africa,the Caribbean and Western America.Grillo and his associates modified the characteristics of the slave trade and had a major influence on the world’s commerce,making Genoa a crucial link in international trade.
