Agrarian Change and Economic Development is a landmark volume that
examines the historical experience of the relationship between
agrarian change and economic development. Because agriculture was
until recently man's dominant occupation, scholars have
traditionally drawn little attention to its immense historical
importance. The essays in this book redress this balance, and
illustrate the significance of the western world's escape from an
overwhelmingly agrarian condition. It is therefore an ideal work
for encouraging those concerned with current problems to perceive
agricultural development as professional historians see it, and to
question the oversimplified historical analogies commonly employed
in development economics. Presenting historical examples of change
within particular agricultural systems, and discussing their
implications for national economic development, both social
scientists and planners less concerned with historical revision
will have equal reason to welcome these case studies of the
long-run interaction of agrarian change and economic activity. This
classic book was first published in 1969.
