About this title

Synopsis

Transitions to Capitalism in Early Modern Europe analyzes the diverse patterns of economic change that transformed agriculture and industry between the end of the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution. Explicitly comparative, it introduces readers to a wealth of factual material, to classic interpretations, and to current debates. In this study Professor DuPlessis also incorporates recent scholarship on the world economy, proto-industry and women's work, and discusses the impact of the new economic order on Europe's working people.

Review

"...the author provides specialist-quality insights on many topics, such as eastern landlords, the English enclosure movement, the Atlantic economy, 'proto-industrialization,' and the place of women and children in cottage industry. The author's serious, fair-minded approach to complex questions and controversies is appreciated." Choice

"...the book successfully examines comparative and particular experiences with capitalism. DuPlessis' work will enlighten students in early modern European surveys and topical courses." Claire D. Schen, Agricultural History

"This book is an ideal introduction for beginners and a judicious review for nonspecialists." Duane J. Osheim, History
