Dear Ricardo,

Some of these use networks methods explicitly, some not as much.  I'm sure there is a lot of other material; this selection comes from my perspective on the field.  I hope it is useful, though.

Harold Innis' "The Fur Trade in Canada" (>1955) may suggest how network thinking can be used in economic history. It's primarily considered a work of economic geography -- and it certainly doesn't use Network Analysis as a method -- but it deals extensively with communication networks, transportation networks, and with the social/cultural relations between peoples.

Dear SOCNET list member,

Could you please suggest me some readings in the field of Network Analysis in
Economic History. More specifically I am looking for papers or books which use
Network Analysis as a method of research in economic history or historical
political economy.

Thank you in advance,
