As it advanced across Europe in the mid-14th century, the Black Death wiped out as many as half of the communities it affected. And yet, in its wake, there was a major resurgence in European trade, with long-lasting effects. Why? Paul Seabright explores the connections between trade and disease. Producer: Chris Ledgard. First broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio 4 in January 2018.
