The bilingual publication written by Mira Kolar is printed in
Croatian and English and was published jointly by the HOK and the
"Dom i Svijet" publishing house. The publication illustrates how
individual periods in Croatian trade advanced or were deliberately
thwarted.
The author emphasised that organised trade was the continuation of
medieval guilds and tradesmen were once the most reputable citizens
in Croatia.
