State Corporatism and Proto-Industry focuses on an industrial
countryside in south-west Germany, where a dense worsted industry
dominated the rural economy from 1580 to 1800. This is an example
of 'proto-industry', the dense, export-oriented rural manufacturing
which arose throughout Europe before factory industrialization. But
although the Wurttemberg worsted industry possessed all the
features of a classic proto-industry, closer scrutiny throws doubt
on basic assumptions about European proto-industrialization. In
this book, Sheilagh Ogilvie shows that proto-industries did not
break down traditional society. Instead, corporate institutions
such as guilds, merchant companies, village communities and
manorial systems retained enormous power. This was a result of
'state corporatism': the expanding early modern state granted
privileges to favoured groups in return for fiscal and regulatory
co-operation. As Ogilvie shows, these corporate privileges
profoundly constrained both individual decisions and economic
development.
