In a work entitled The Origins of English Individualism, which will appear at roughly the same time as this article, I have assembled the evidence to support a new thesis concerning the nature of English social and economic structure between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries. Since the results of this work have implications for those who would not normally read a book on English social history, it is worth repeating them to a wider audience here. I will first briefly summarize the argument and proof in my book and then turn to the implications. Detailed argument and references on specific points are contained in the book
