What London's guilds did for their members changed a lot between 1500 and 1700. We find that the people that Londoners trusted were often fellow guild members around 1500.
Big shout to the thirteen @LSEEcHist undergraduate student coauthors who helped create this paper! #lse #econhist cambridge.org/core/journals/…

The book provides an exciting array of case studies and a promising purpose: going beyond the guild debate around the beneficial or harmful effects of guild apprenticeship, according to @AndreaCaracausi in this bookreview in TSEG tseg.nl/article/view/14869/1…
