In Power and Property in Medieval Germany Professor Arnold takes a
fresh look at the problems posed by power and property in a
medieval society, in this case the German kingdom. In a series of
interrelated studies covering the period 700-1500, but
concentrating on the tenth to thirteenth centuries, Arnold explores
the social and economic changes that influenced the real lives of
people living in Germany. A number of themes are examined,
including the kind of society that emerged along the Rhine and to
the east of it in a period when it is hard to identify a Germany;
the complex relationship between peasant and lord; the finances and
resources of the German crown, the largest single landowner; the
social and economic impact of the urban milieu with its towns large
and small; and the entanglement of Church and aristocracy. Whilst
medieval people did not share mercantilist or post-Adam Smith
concepts of economic forces at work in society, Arnold fruitfully
applies the ideas and rationalizations of modern economics to
medieval evidence, leading, at times, to unexpected conclusions.
