"Risky Markets explores a crucial moment in the history of insurance, when tools designed
to tackle sea risks were in their first making. Renaissance Florence is the setting
for one of the first attempts to develop a market specialized in protecting maritime
trade. Drawing on a unique collection of sources, the book provides a wide ranging
account about the players, institutions, business practices and organizations of the
insurance business, shedding light on the forecasting techniques underwriters used.
Ceccarelli shows that the market was a small club where trust relations and shared
codes of conduct prevail over competition. In a world without probability this was
the way by which a business community managed transforming uncertainty into a calculable
risk"
