The Early Modern European Economy

Musgrave presents us with an excellent new interpretation of the early modern European economy. He challenges old ideas on poverty, lack of choice, the early consumer society, and the rise of North Western Europe (viz, the decline of Southern Europe). In his last chapter European economic history is also seen from a global perspective. Based on recent research and stylishly written in no nonsense English. Excellent (short) introduction on this topic for students of the period.
