British & Irish history; Early modern history: c 1450 to c 1700; Macroeconomics; Microeconomics; Economic history

This important new book, widely praised in hardcover (Yale UP) redefines the economic history of early modern Britain for a new generation of readers.

Wrightson writes evocatively about the basic institutions and relationships of economic life, tracing the process of change, and examining how these changes affected men, women and children at all social levels.

Novel in its structure, scope, and emphasis on the lived experience of the period, the book vividly demonstrates the gains and costs of economic change.
