Pirates were not simply reckless outlaws chasing treasure across the sea. They were participants in a vast hidden economy, one built on shadow markets, maritime trade networks, informal contracts, political corruption, colonial demand, and the failures of empire.

The Golden Age of Piracy's Hidden Economy reveals the economic system behind the black flag. Moving beyond romantic legends of buried gold and swashbuckling adventure, this book examines how Golden Age pirates operated as rational actors inside one of the most complex informal economies of the early modern world.
