Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The commercial foundation on which the future expansion of manufacturing and trade was built was firmly laid during the 17th century. It was that period which saw the start of a formal banking system and the evolution of business methods suited to industrial growth. The economic background to the commercial activities of Scottish entrepreneurs at the turn of the century was far from smooth, however, culminating in the loss of up to a quarter of the country's liquid capital in the Darien scheme, which finally collapsed in 1700. Seven years later came the union of the Scottish and English parliaments with all the upheaval and uncertainty which that entailed, The issues surrounding the Union are too complex to rehearse fully here; instead this chapter is limited to examining briefly some aspects of the economic background, with particular reference to the glass and other 'introduced' industries, especially soap and sugar production. | ||
