An Economic Analysis of the Organization of Serfdom in Eastern Europe
从经济角度解释16世纪东欧农奴制的兴起，认为强制劳动在庄园框架下更易监督，并用波兰及邻近地区的证据验证模型。
The rise of serfdom in the sixteenth century undoubtedly has political explanations, but the form that it took has economic explanations. In particular, it took the form of forced labor on enlarged manorial farms. The economic explanation, buttressed with evidence from the period, is that an enserfed labor force must be watched more than free renters and the watching is best done in a manorial framework. The model is stated formally and its implications compared point-by- point with the voluminous evidence for Poland and neighboring regions.
