| Abstract: | Fernand Braudel, the renowned French historian, has written that during the eighteenth century shops came to rule the world. As a prime example of this phenomenon he cited the case of Valletta where shops had '...proliferated so much that no single shopkeeper can make an adequate living'. Malta, in fact, seems to haw become 'a nation of shopkeepers' well before Napoleon used the term with reference to Great Britain in the early--nineteenth century. |
