  • Product Description

    This series, specially commissioned by the Economic History Society, provides a guide to the current interpretations of the key themes of economic and social history in which advances have recently been made or in which there has been significant debate. The series aims to give readers access to the best work done, helps them to draw their own conclusions in major fields of study, and by means of the critical bibliography in each guide them in the selection of further reading. The aim is to provide a springboard to further work rather than a set of pre-packaged conclusions or short-cuts.
