Medieval English Peasants and Market Involvement
利用税收评估数据,分析中世纪英国农民应税财富与区域市场地理的关系,揭示不同谷物和牲畜的商品化模式,探讨市场参与选择性对家庭和社区经济脆弱性的影响。
This paper uses a taxation assessment to analyze the relations between taxable peasant wealth and regional marketing geography. The results show cashcropping patterns for different grains and livestock. The selectivity of market involvement poses broader questions concerning economic vulnerability at the household and community levels among the English peasantry, and strategies used to contain vulnerability.
