Title: The manorial economy in early-modern East-Central Europe
First published: 1994
Description: This text is concerned with one of the fundamental problems in the economic and social history of Europe in the early modern period, namely, the bifurcation in its development: in Western Europe, the development of capitalism; in East-Central Europe, the rise of the manorial-serf economy which hampered the development of capitalism. The main motif linking together the studies in this volume is the endeavour to explain this separation - the author evaluates the different theories explaining this, and also provides further analysis of economic life, dealing with commercial activity and economic regression, especially in Poland.
