Popis: Títol de la versió preprint de l'article = Food retailing and the public market system: the Barcelona case, 1876-1936 This article is a contribution to comparative research between specific urban markets trajectories in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and it aims to juxtapose southern European food market experiences, particularly the Barcelona case, with west European ones.
