Seller's Description:
Near Fine. This is one of the first efforts to propose an economic theory of the rationality governing production in a feudal system; the empirical material is taken from the history of Polish agriculture in the 16th and 17th centuries, when the Polish peasantry was subjected to the belated serfdom that developed in Eastern Europe in the later middle ages; it studies the type of economic calculation inherent in a feudal manor and its mode of adaptation to variations in harvests and markets; it reconstructs the long-term dynamic of a feudal system exemplified by the Polish grain economy, with its important export sector; includes a presentation by Fernand Braudel (cover has very slight edge wear; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy in near fine condition)
