History and Economic Life offers students a wide-ranging
introduction to both quantitative and qualitative approaches to
interpreting economic history sources from the Middle Ages to the
Twentieth Century. Having identified an ever-widening gap between
the use of qualitative sources by cultural historians and
quantitative sources by economic historians, the book aims to
bridge the divide by making economic history sources more
accessible to students and the wider public, and highlighting the
need for a complementary rather than exclusive approach. Divided
into two parts, the book begins by equipping students with a
toolbox to approach economic history sources, considering the range
of sources that might be of use and introducing different ways of
approaching them. The second part consists of case studies that
examine how economic historians use such sources, helping readers
to gain a sense of context and understanding of how these sources
can be used. The book thereby sheds light on important debates both
within and beyond the field, and highlights the benefits gained
when combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to source
analysis. Introducing sources often avoided in culturally-minded
history or statistically-minded economic history courses
respectively, and advocating a combined quantitative and
qualitative approach, it is an essential resource for students
undertaking source analysis within the field.
