L’économie locale en temps de crise au début de l’époque moderne (étude basée sur les livres de comptes du monastère Kirillo-Belozerskij des années 1620

Abstract

Comparing the data on the supply and consumption of grain and other types of food with the geography of trade relations before the Time of Troubles during the siege of the Kirillo-Belozerskii Monastery and the period that followed, the authors of the article explore the features of the local economy as part of the larger economic space of the Muscovite state during the acute systemic crisis of the early seventeenth century. An analysis of the micro-economic system has made it possible to establish very strong ties, the supply structure of individual outlets, and also to trace the changes introduced by the external restrictions caused by an acute socio-political crisis. The materials of this local community show the transitional nature of the Muscovite economy in the early seventeenth century.
