Commerce by a Frozen Sea is a cross-cultural study of a century of contact between North American native peoples and Europeans. During the eighteenth century, the natives of the Hudson Bay lowlands and their European trading partners were brought together by an increasingly popular trade in furs, destined for the hat and fur markets of Europe. Native Americans were the sole trappers of furs, which they traded to English and French merchants. The trade gave Native Americans access to new European technologies that were integrated into Indian lifeways. What emerges from this detailed exploration is a story of two equal partners involved in a mutually beneficial trade. Drawing on more than seventy years of trade records from the archives of the Hudson's Bay Company, economic historians Ann M. Carlos and Frank D. Lewis critique and confront many of the myths commonly held about the nature and impact of commercial trade. Extensively documented are the ways in which natives transformed the trading environment and determined the range of goods offered to them. Natives were effective bargainers who demanded practical items such as firearms, kettles, and blankets as well as luxuries like cloth, jewelry, and tobacco—goods similar to those purchased by Europeans. Surprisingly little alcohol was traded. Indeed, Commerce by a Frozen Sea shows that natives were industrious people who achieved a standard of living above that of most workers in Europe. Although they later fell behind, the eighteenth century was, for Native Americans, a golden age.

This book showcases the wide variety of commercial cosmopolitan practices that arose from the global economic entanglements of the early modern period. Cosmopolitanism is not only a philosophical ideal: for many centuries it has also been an everyday practice across the globe. The early modern era saw hitherto unprecedented levels of economic interconnectedness. States, societies, and individuals reacted with a mixture of commercial idealism and commercial anxiety, seeking at once to exploit new opportunities for growth whilst limiting its disruptive effects. In highlighting the range of commercial cosmopolitan practices that grew out of early modern globalisation, the book demonstrates that it provided robust alternatives to the universalising western imperial model of the later period. Deploying a number of interdisciplinary methodologies, the kind of ‘methodological cosmopolitanism’ that Ulrich Beck has called for, chapters provide agency-centred evaluations of the risks and opportunities inherent in the ambiguous role of the cosmopolitan, who, often playing on and mobilising a number of identities, operated in between and outside of different established legal, social, and cultural systems. The book will be important reading for students and scholars working at the intersection of economic, global, and cultural history.

Excerpt from The Organization of Ocean Commerce If the world's trade were divided into two classes, on the basis of distance, it would be found that land traffic was pre eminently the Short-distance trade and that the ocean was the route used mainly by the long-distance trade. Owing to the ease of water transportation, men seek out the ocean routes for freight whenever possible, and, as from any sea all seas may be reached, the average length of water routes is several times as great as the land routes. The ocean carrying trade is chiefly international trade, of which it comprises the most important part. The ocean is the great international highway, and, in the sense of owner ship, the only international highway. Many land routes carry commodities that cross international boundaries, but the routes, like all the valuable land in the world, are within the jurisdiction of some particular country, and, further, are the property of particular persons or groups of persons. The ocean is more international because it is the property of all, and open and free to all. No nation claims more than three miles from its coast and beyond that any man from any nation may sail his Ship where he will over the common ocean, which covers three-fourths of the surface of the globe and washes the shores of all important countries. Besides being large and free the ocean furnishes the cheapest of all forms of transportation, and with these advantages it is natural that maritime commerce should be by far the greater element in international exchanges, as well as a very important part of many domestic trades.
