5.0 out of 5 stars
Commoners -- by Prof. J.M. Neeson, December 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Commoners: Common Right, Enclosure and Social Change in England, 1700-1820 (Past and Present Publications) (Paperback)
According to E.P. Thompson (Customs in Common) best work on the subject -- and if not the only then certainly the most important. Sorry, I'm not an academic, just a student. For an insightful review, please look in a history journal.

Revolutionary, July 15, 2001
This review is from: Commoners: Common Right, Enclosure and Social Change in England, 1700-1820 (Past and Present Publications) (Paperback)
I found this well researched book fascinating. I have never before read a non-fiction work in one sitting (Then I reread it taking notes). This work undermines (without ever saying so ) many of the cultural myths that drive our current economy. Commons have been viable and sustainable economies and cultures. I should also add that as an avid science fiction reader I found a description of as alien a society as any I have otherwise read about.
