Craft guilds in the pre‐modern economy
This article challenges the view, voiced especially by S. Ogilvie, that the ‘revisionist’ interpretation of the history of craft guilds is wide of the mark. The paper suggests that Ogilvie oversimplifies the revisionist position; ignores significant new work on European crafts; as a result underestimates the role of the guilds in England and the Low Countries; and incorrectly presents her own case study of the Württemberg worsted industry as typi…
Rodney Hilton, Marxism and the Transition from Feudalism to Capitalism
A founding member of the Historians’ Group of the Communist Party, of the journal Past and Present, and a major force in a distinctive and distinguished School of History at the University of Birmingham, Rodney Hilton was among the most notable medieval historians of the latter half of the twentieth century. He was also the most influential of a small number of Marxist medievalists in Britain and Continental Europe who practised their craft befor…
The rise of the West
The appearance in 1986 of the first volume of Michael Mann's trilogy (Mann 1986) brought to an end an extraordinarily fruitful decade, during which a heterogeneous group of economic historians (Mendels 1972; Jones 1981; Brenner 1982), economists (North 1981), and historical sociologists (Anderson 1974a; 1974b; Wallerstein 1974–80; and Hall 1985) jointly attacked, challenged and rewrote many of the established narratives of premodern European hist…

The late medieval crisis as an ‘integration crisis’
During the 1950s and 1960s a distinguished generation of Marxist and neo-Malthusian scholars led by M.M.Postan (1973), Wilhelm Abel (1935), Ernest Labrousse (1933), Fernand Braudel (1982-84, Volume 2), Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie (1966), Maurice Dobb (1946), and Rodney Hilton (1975; also Bois 1984) established the view-later to be enshrined as the so-called ‘Brenner debate’ (Aston and Philpin 1985)—that pre-modern, ‘traditional’ societies did not und…
Town and Country in Europe, 1300–1800
Relations between town and country are central to Europe's long-term economic, political and social evolution. This 2001 book surveys and re-interprets these relations in particular countries and regions in the light of the most recent debates on state formation, urbanisation, proto-industrialisation, and the regional character of pre-modern economic growth. Thirteen specially commissioned chapters, ranging chronologically from the Black Death to…
Freedom and Growth
In discussions on European pre-modern economic growth, the role of individual freedom and of the state has loomed large. This book examines whether different kinds of 'freedoms' (absolutist, parliamentary and republican) caused different economic outcomes, and shows the effect of different political regimes on long term development. It thus offers

Craft Guilds, Apprenticeship, and Technological Change in Preindustrial Europe
This article argues that medieval craft guilds emerged in order to provide transferable skills through apprenticeship. They prospered for more than half a millennium because they sustained interregional specialized labor markets and contributed to technological invention by stimulating technical diffusion through migrant labor and by providing inventors with temporary monopoly rents. They played a leading role in preindustrial manufacture because…

Regional fairs, institutional innovation, and economic growth in late medieval Europe
In an essay on medieval market structures published some 30 years ago, Verlinden drew attention for the first time to the proliferation of fairs in late medieval Europe. He also noted, with some surprise, that the majority of these new events drew on local and regional, rather than international flows of trade. Since then the number of monographs on late medieval fairs has risen exponentially, but there have been no attempts to provide a general …

The textile industry and the foreign cloth trade in late medieval Sicily (1300–1500)
Historians have recently argued that by the late Middle Ages a number of Mediterranean economies, notably southern Italy and parts of Spain, stood in a "colonial" relationship vis-à-vis other Mediterranean or northern European regions. For Sicily it has been argued that its economy was based on the exchange of agricultural products, principally grain, for imported manufactures, mainly textiles. Sicilian cloth manufactures were too weak to withsta…
