Abstract

After the contextualisation (demography etc.) made in the previous chapter, the third chapter analyses labour from different points of view; first, the technological ones. Which was the level of technology in the Early Modern period in the different economic sectors? How did this affect labour? The chapter will show how according to different economic and geographical situations there were various types of labour organisations: guilds, domestic works, and centralised manufacturers in the cities, proto-industries, and domestic works in the countryside. Besides this schematic division, the chapter will underline that it is difficult to clearly separate (especially from a geographical point of view) the various forms of labour, often linked one to another.
