Short description:
This 1995 book is a theoretical and empirical study of the transition from peasantry to capitalism in Sweden.
MoreLong description:
How do peasants, producing mainly for themselves, become capitalist farmers, producing largely for sale? What happens to farm sizes, farming practices, and the relationships between cultivators and others in the process of this transition? How far does it vary from region to region? Is it inherent in the peasantry, or must it be instigated by landlord, townsfolk or the state? These are some of the questions addressed by G&&&246;ran Hoppe and John Langton in this 1995 study of rural change in Sweden. Eschewing both traditional narrow empiricism, and the recent trend to over-employ modern social theory, the authors have carefully combined theories about the transition from peasantry to capitalism with meticulous analysis of the abundant Swedish records. In doing so, they reveal the wide geographical variety and rich socioeconomic complexity of the changes which occurred in the process of modernization in the nineteenth century.
"This book is an extraordinarily detailed study of certain aspects of economic change in a modest-sized district of south central Sweden. The extent of the detail no doubt increases its value to scholars working on relevant aspects of 19th-century Swedish economic history....well-organized and well-written." Journal of Regional Science
