Centrum för Danmarksstudier: Wool and society : manufacturing policy, economic thought and local production in 18th-century Iceland
Hrefna Róbertsdóttir
Flax spinning, domestic workshops, putting-out production and increased exports are all changes that affected wool production in Iceland following the introduction of manufacturing workshops to the country in the late 18th century. In this book, wool production is used as a key to understanding 18th-century society, touching, as it does, on a wide range of subjects such as farming practices, occupations, division of labour, production techniques, export, and efforts to increase production within the rural society.
