Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book (1971) is a penetrating sociological and economic analysis of Spanish latifundism. The book examines tensions within wage-labour systems and explores the conflicting value systems of both workers and landowners.
MoreLong description:
Latifundia are a characteristic feature of many underdeveloped agrarian economies. At the time when land reform was a burning issue for most of these countries, Labourers and Landowners in Southern Spain (originally published in 1971), a penetrating sociological and economic analysis of the Spanish experience was particularly opportune. The book examines the tensions within wage-labour latifundism and describes the value-systems of both labourers and landowners. Profit-minded landowners should prefer to become rentier landlords, but this would threaten the legitimacy of their position, which requires owner-operation. The labourers? behaviour conforms with their image of society: ?we who work? are in conflict with the landowning classes, but nevertheless ?we the poor must work?.
Published originally in Spanish, this English edition has been rearranged and includes a new final chapter discussing Pitt-Rivers? and Hobsbawm?s works on Andalusia, as well as dissecting Warriner?s Land Reform in Principle and Practice.
Review of the Spanish edition:
?? [this book] deserves attention not only by students of Southern Spain but also those who are interested in the social structure of similar areas.?
