Family Structure and Proto-industrialization in Russia
研究俄罗斯是否经历了类似西欧的原始工业化过程,发现即使在非自由劳动条件下也发生了,但模式因婚姻模式、家庭结构、劳动力流动性和半农半工家庭的主导地位而不同。
The experience of Russia is examined to establish whether the area underwent a process of proto-industrialization comparable to that found in Western Europe. It is argued that the process did take place in this region, even with unfree labor, and served as the basis for much later industrial development. It is also argued that the Russian case differed a good deal from that found in the West. The major factors operating to make the pattern different include the previous existence of the “non- European” marriage pattern, marked differences in family and household structure, the relative immobility of labor, and the degree to which there were half-peasant, half-manufacturing households that dominated much of manufacture.
