In the PC Gamer interview: http://www.pcgamer.com/why-the-creator-of-dwarf-fortress-is-really-excited-about-boats/ , Tarn was asked, "When you're implementing a system like economy, for example, do you do a lot of research?" In response, Tarn mentioned his inspiration for Economy in DF came from, "collected economic... I don't remember the name of the book anymore, but an economic geography of the middle ages, like three volumes."
Do you happen to have the name of the book? I searched around and came across a couple and wondered if these were the correct ones.
Mediaeval Economy and Society by M. M. Postan
and
A Social and Economic History of Medieval Europe by Gerald A. Hodgett
In addition, this sounds like a comparable book: Medieval Cities: Their Origins and the Revival of Trade by Henri Pirenne, Michael McCormick
