Economic Systems of Foraging, Agricultural, and Industrial Societies Book

This book is aimed at both an educated audience who do not necessarily have a strong background in economics and at specialists. Frederic L. Pryor uses a multidisciplinary approach drawing from economics, anthropology, statistics, and history to examine large samples of foraging (hunting, gathering and fishing), agricultural, and industrial societies. He isolates their economic systems, explores why certain societies or nations have one system rather than another, examines the impact of these economic systems on their welfare and studies development and change of these economic systems. No other book on the market presents such a broad framework for understanding economic systems or provides such evidence on both preindustrial and industrial economic systems.Read More
