- Summary:
- This new edition of a well-received and widely reviewed book argues that the commercial developments between 1000 and 1500 are important for understanding social change. The author explores the significance of the growth and multiplication of towns, the growing use of money and the increasing dependence of many families upon trade. He builds these observations into a broader understanding of change, in which related legal and administrative developments are also assessed.
