Summary

Over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, Ottoman agriculture gradually shifted from subsistence and provisioning to commerce and export. Rural disorder and diminishing imperial authority in the provinces unraveled aspects of the old provisioning systems. The abandonment of the tımar system and relentless fiscal demands drove a transformation of imperial finance and landholding, encouraging the commercialization of farming. Meanwhile, the empire's growing military vulnerabilities encouraged the search for allies and trading partners, binding the empire more tightly to the European state system and prompting more concessions to foreign merchants. By the end of the eighteenth century, Ottoman lands were being drawn into a Europe-centered world economy.
