Mark Bailey & John Hatcher 
Modelling the Middle Ages [PDF ebook] 
The History and Theory of England’s Economic Development

支持

Most of what has been written on the economy of the middle ages is deeply influenced by abstract concepts and theories. The most powerful and popular of these guiding beliefs are derived from intellectual foundations laid down in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by Adam Smith, Johan von Thunen, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx. In the hands of twentieth-century historians and social scientists these venerable ideas have been moulded intothree grand explanatory ideas which continue to dominate interpretations of economic development. These trumpet in turn the claims of ‘commercialization’, ‘population and resources’, or ‘class power and property relations’ as the prime movers of historical change. In this highly original book John Hatcherand Mark Bailey examine the structure and test the validity of these conflicting models from a variety of perspectives. In the course of their investigations they provide not only detailed reconstructions of the economic history of England in the middle ages and sustained critical commentaries on the work of leading historians, but also discussions of the philosophy and methods of history and the social sciences. The result is a short and readily intelligible introduction to medieval economichistory, an up-to-date critique of established models, and a succinct treatise on historiographical method.
