In this elegantly constructed redefinition of the economic history of early modern Britain, Keith Wrightson combines the research of economic historians with the insights of social and cultural history. He describes the basic institutions and relationships of economic life, traces the processes of change, and vividly demonstrates the effects of these changes on men, women, and children at all social levels.
