Hello, I'm preparing research for economy strategy PC game and I would like to ask for some recommendations about mercantile systems/economy in the history of Europe (most interested in western/central Europe 17-18 century).

I'm most interested in corporate law at those times, taxes, etc.. and how companies worked. And if there is somebody who loves this part of history I would love some personal insights.

Closest to this topic what I read was Wealth of nations by Smith.. so if somebody can give me some recommendations I would be glad. I'm not afraid of books with academic tone to them.

Thanks!
