Alternative Exchanges: Second-Hand Circulations From The Sixteenth Century To The Present

Exploring the changing meanings of the circulation of second-hand goods from the Renaissance, this volume examines the blurring of boundaries between market, gifts, and charity. It describes the actors of the market and also the subterranean circulation that develops around the need for money and that provides for numerous intermediaries.
