This book surveys the economy of Wales from the first Norman
intrusions of 1067 to the Act of Union of England and Wales in
1536. Key themes include the evolution of the agrarian economy; the
foundation and growth of towns; the adoption of a money economy;
English colonization and economic exploitation; the collapse of
Welsh social structures and rise of economic individualism; the
disastrous effect of the Glyndwr rebellion; and, ultimately, the
alignment of the Welsh economy to the English economy. Comprising
four chapters, a narrative history is presented of the economic
history of Wales, 1067-1536, and the final chapter tests the
applicability in a Welsh context of the main theoretical frameworks
that have been developed to explain long-term economic and social
change in medieval Britain and Europe.
