Population of the Ottoman Europe in the 16th century: challenging the Braudelian enthusiasm

We have found that demographic trends in the 16th and the 17th century had a great impact on the Empire’s economy. The demographic curve was slightly rising, then also slightly falling, yet always slower that the ever-rising curve of prices ; in 1600-1650 the gap became dramatic. Such a condition did not offer best opportunities to integration into the capitalistic world-economy in the way it was done with of Poland or Sicily. This could only be effectuated by the means of colonial conquest, in any case not possible at that time.
