DESCRIPTION:To understand the development of financial markets in the Low 
 Countries before the Industrial Revolution we have to look beyond the worl
 d of high finance centered around Antwerp and Amsterdam. Empirically\, thi
 s is difficult\, however\, because primary sources on ordinary households 
 and small-scale businesses are scarce. We try to remedy this shortcoming t
 hrough an explicit focus on the demand for four key financial services: pa
 yments\, loans\, savings\, and insurance.
