Extract

I had not realized that “the subject of economic history is in a condition of self-induced crisis” (p. 7) until I read the Farnie–Abe introduction to this book. If economic historians are still capable of producing good quality work as interesting as the essays in this book, then the crisis can hardly be of serious proportions.
