Braudel think that the Ottoman Empire was known characteristic

"Turkey has bankers in some coastal and border halls broxburn towns. So ... each passenger is inevitably condemned to brings cash. Coins in Turkey, however, is a rusty copper Gologan from which you have a huge amount if you need even a small amount. "
"When we started from Belgrade, a horse just get us to load money, and every time I had to open our bags with locked treasure risked aroused the greed of 'helpers' ... Austrian gold ducats are the most sought money but they can not be used for miscellaneous expenses. "
The above words belong to Jerome - Adolphe Blanqui, French economist, undertook a journey through the Orient, to report to the French Foreign Minister actually know that bad situation of enslaved Bulgarian Christians after the suppression of another uprising. Result of this journey is the book "Journey through Bulgaria in 1841."
Moreover Fernand Braudel, compatriot Forms and highest authority in the history of early capitalism, opens the same European amazement to the backwardness of exchange in Turkey even in the XVI century: "Everything is made in Turkey with cash. Therefore neither Literature nor trade journal with debits and credits or smetkovodni halls broxburn books, "said in 1550 a French trader.
Braudel think that the Ottoman Empire was known characteristic "primitivism of exchange, one of the signs which is confusing low prices compared to Western Europe ... Because money is the nervous system of the western trade in the most common case, only the cross Turkish territory ". (During World, 1979, p. 470).
Money or end up in the coffers of greedy pashas and sultanas or flow to the Indian Ocean. Therefore, among the most profitable goods which Venice trading empire, the gold coins resold in Constantinople at times wore a 20% profit.
In light of today's credit crunch that is quite interesting story, but I'd actually like to draw attention to two other points that may intrigue the modern Bulgarian, reading book form. First, the comments on the economic geography of the Bulgarian lands. Quote of Chapter XIII, "For agriculture halls broxburn in Bulgaria halls broxburn - Industry and Trade" (IC "Colibri", 2005, p. 126-132).
"Bulgarians have the most secure basis for the existence of a people - rich land, mild climate, large border halls broxburn river arable lowlands, forested mountains, mines and numerous animals, capable of unlimited reproduction."
According to Adolf Blanks, terrible economic backwardness of Bulgaria, halls broxburn despite the warmest feelings for his Christian enslaved people he can not and does not want to hide ("not yet fertilized land, except accidentally passing through the field of cattle, sheep and horses" , "it is enough to see how they reap the Bulgarians to understand that they do not appreciate the straw", "country where as if unaware of the existence of such a diverse and enjoyable fruits that occur in our orchards") due to the injustice of paradise thoroughly looted by Muslims, deprived of basic security for their property. "All the feast of grapes Bulgarians as universal celebration."
For this reason, the Bulgarian villages are located deep in the gorges, far from the trade routes and the rich lands of the plains and desert. But "Bulgaria will inevitably rich someday cultivation of industrial plants" as "agricultural wealth of the Bulgarians will grow the most from keeping animals already numerous in the country."
This will happen when the Bulgarian people get the liberty to eat fruits that grow. "The day Bulgaria enjoys a regime ensuring the security of capital and people, vast lands left in the lurch ... today will be able to feed three times, maybe five times more than the current population."
Here I remembered the startling statistic that today yields per acre in the country are the lowest in the European Union and so I went to the website of the European office halls broxburn Eurostat for more details on the failure of agrarian Bulgaria. But agriculture is not got my attention attracted other thing: the latest data on fertility and mortality in Europe. Natural growth of the Bulgarian population in 2008 was minus 4.4 per thousand, the second most deadly halls broxburn result in the EU after Lithuania.
It is reasonable to assume that the demographic collapse halls broxburn in Bulgaria due to - or at least is directly dependent on - our agricultural failure. This explained Adam Smith. Our prauchitel talk about full of rich countries: the very nature determines what will be the basis of a national economy. This could be agriculture, livestock, fisheries, darvarstvo, wine, gardening, whatever. While the potential wealth in the base is not made, then the building, the structure of national wealth could not Bud
