4. Merchants And Revolution
Commercial Change, Political Conflict, and London's Overseas Traders, 1550–1653
A study of how shifts in London’s commerce from the mid-sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century—especially the move from regulated monopolies toward dynamic Atlantic trades in tobacco and sugar—reconfigured merchant interests and intensified conflicts with the Crown. By tracing divisions between entrenched company elites and upstart traders, it shows how disputes over monopolies, taxation, and overseas expansion drew parts of the mercantile community into alliance with Parliament. It argues that these economic transformations and mercantile mobilization were central to the political crises that culminated in the English Revolution.
