Agrarian Change and Crisis in Europe, 1200-1500 addresses one of
the classic subjects on economic history: the process of aggregate
economic growth and the crisis that engulfed the European continent
during the late Middle Ages. This was not an ordinary crisis.
During the period 1200-1500, Europe witnessed endemic episodes of
famine and a wave of plague epidemics that amounted to one of its
worst health crises, rivaled only by the Justinian plague in the
sixth century. These challenges called into question the production
of goods and services and the distribution of wealth, opening the
possibility of fundamental systemic change.
This book offers an empirical synthesis on a host of economic,
demographic, and technological developments which characterized the
period 1200-1500. It covers virtually the entire continent and
places equal emphasis both on providing a solid factual framework
and comparing and contrasting various theoretical interpretations.
The broad geographical and conceptual scope of the book renders it
indispensable not only for undergraduate students who take courses
relating to the economic and social life of the Middle Ages but
also to more advanced scholars who often specialize in only one
country or region.
