  Dangerous Economies: Status and Commerce in Imperial New York

  Dangerous Economies is a history of New York culture and commerce in the first two thirds of the eighteenth century

  when Britain was just beginning to catch up with its imperial rivals

  France and Spain. In that sparsely populated city on the fringe of an empire

  enslaved Africans rubbed elbows with white indentured servants while the elite strove to maintain ties with European genteel culture. The transience of the city's people

  goods

  and fortunes created a notably fluid society in which establishing one's own status or verifying another's was a challenge. New York's shifting imperial identity created new avenues for success but also made success harder to define and demonstrate socially.
