Merchants, pirates, and smugglers : criminalization, economics, and the transformation of the maritime world (1200-1600)
Thomas K. Heebøll-Holm (Editor), Philipp Höhn (Editor), Gregor Rohmann (Editor)

Doch was wir heute als'unerlaubt'ansehen, wurde bis zur Durchsetzung des souveränen Staates oft als legitim wahrgenommen, weil es innerhalb der Spielregeln des Wirtschaftslebens erfolgte. Je nachdem, wie gut ein Akteur seine Vorstellung durchsetzen konnte, wurde er als Pirat, Schmuggler, Kaufmann oder Admiral wahrgenommen
