Robert S. Duplessis

Opis

Revised, updated and expanded, this second edition analyzes the structures and practices of European economies within a global context.

Recenzje

'With this second addition DuPlessis raises his already fine analysis to a higher level. Extended bibliographies reflect the proliferation of recent research on global trade networks (including slavery), patterns of consumption, and women's work. DuPlessis gives full weight to regional variations in economic development. Altogether, this is an outstanding account, lucidly and fluently written.' Tom Scott, University of St Andrews
