Summary, in English

This chapter explores how the poorest of the poor made a living in 1740 Stockholm. The 1740 mantalslängd, a sort of proto-census, describes the work done by the entirety of Stockholm's inhabitants in unusual detail, preserving information about beggars, street-peddlers, and both formal and informal poor-relief.
