Agricultural Protection in Wilhelminian Germany: Forging an Empire with Pork and Rye
研究了19世纪末德国农业保护政策的形成，大地主和农民因不同利益获得不同保护水平，解释了农民与地主的政治联盟，并指出保护政策推动了农业集约化现代化。
During the last two decades of the nineteenth century protection for agriculture became an important feature of the economic and political landscape in Germany. The large landlords, who specialized in arable agriculture, used their political power to get high levels of protection. Peasants, who specialized in animal husbandry, received lower but substantial and rising levels of protection. Material interest can thus help explain the peasants' political alliance with the landlords. Protection encouraged German agriculture to modernize along intensive lines, bringing to the countryside the social and political developments dreaded by the same conservative elites who promoted protection.
