Project description
This project engages with one of the most important enigmas in the history of pre-modern societies, namely the presumed impact of elite constraints on economic development. Capitalizing on a fortuitous conflux of expertise and exceptional sources, this project compares patterns of lordship with patterns of economic growth in the various regions of the Low Countries in c. 1350-1650.
