Exactly what the title promises
By Roberto on October 28, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If you're interested in a formative debate on the key trends that led to the transition from a fundamentally feudal economy to one that was recognizably capitalist, this is your book. Essentially, the collection of articles constitutes an argument against the conventional wisdom at the time(that demographic declines and surges were the key drivers of change) by using examples that were similar in terms of population changes but resulted in radically different outcomes. This provides room for an analysis founded on the relationship to social class that local institutions had as the key driver in how that evolution to capitalism manifested.

It's problematic, as as many bold arguments are, in that it overemphasizes its own Big Idea not just against the existing orthodoxy but also presumes a great deal against other countercurrents (including ones not yet imagined when it was written) less founded in a Marxist analysis of historical cause and effect. But that's about the worst thing I can say about the content. In terms of readability it is a work that is condemned to be skimmed rather than read by all but the most dedicated readers, and that is unfortunately what relegates it to the status of background reference if you're interested in the field rather than something you would be likely to read in its own right or, god forbid, for pleasure.
