Western Europe, Eastern Europe and World Development 13th-18th Centuries
Collection of Essays of Marian Malowist
Description
The main articles of Marian Malowist are collected together for the first time. Malowist, who is one of the major economic historians of the twentieth century, is also a much neglected one. So most scholars have been missing out on one of the most fertile and cultivated minds who have written on the central issue of our times.
