Editorial Reviews
Review
"Carla Rahns Phillips and William Phillip's book is an example of the type of sweeping monograph that is relatively rare these days. It combines massive research with broad synthesis within a major institutional study." -- David R. Ringrose, American Historical Review
Review
"This is probably the most important book on the Spanish economy published in the twentieth century. It sets the standard against which all future work on the wool and other industries will be measured." -- Helen Nader, University of Arizona
"Spain's Golden Fleece is an extraordinarily documented archival and bibliographic update of the Spanish wool trade, one of the classic topics in early modern European history. The authors revise our picture of the wool trade's long-term conjuncture, its internal rationale, and its relationship to both the central monarchy and to the wider Spanish economy. They also provide detailed information on prices, production, and the techniques of material life. Such a work has been long overdue -- and the authors are uniquely qualified to provide this needed and welcome service for a wide audience." -- John Marino, University of California, San Diego
