ISBN: 9781403949028 / Angielski / Twarda / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It does so by investigating their factors of production-land, capital and labor-as well as markets in credit and the cheap foodgrains they produced and, above all, their relationship with the colonial state.
