The Carolingian Economy by Adriaan Verhulst (English) Hardcover Book

Description: The Carolingian Economy by Adriaan Verhulst An evaluation of the economy of the Carolingian empire (753-877). FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is about the economy of the Carolingian empire (753–877), which extended from the Pyrenees and the northern shores of the Mediterranean to the North Sea, and from the Atlantic coast to the Elbe and Saale rivers. It is the first comprehensive evaluation of the topic in English in over twenty years. The study of the Carolingian empire as an economic rather than a political entity can be justified both because of the major interference of political authority in the economy, and because of the distinctive economic characteristic of growth; and while some regions within the empire had a much more developed economy than others, the whole period is basically one of economic expansion, in parallel with the cultural upheaval of the Carolingian Renaissance. Author Biography Adriaan Verhulst was Ordinary Professor of Medieval Economic History, University of Ghent, 1966-1995 (now Emeritus). His book The Rise of Cities in North-West Europe was published by Cambridge University Press in 1999. Table of Contents Introduction; Part I. Land and People: 1. Landscape and settlement; 2.
