Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Teinds and Agriculture: An Historical Survey' offers a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of the teind system and its profound impact on Scottish agrarian development.

Cormack provides a meticulous analysis of the legal and social framework surrounding these payments, highlighting the tensions between the clergy, landowners, and tenant farmers.

It details the various reforms and legislative changes that sought to modernize the system, ultimately shaping the modern Scottish agricultural economy.By documenting the transition from payments in kind to fixed valuations, the book illuminates broader trends in European economic history and rural sociology.
