This is an economic history of sixteenth-century Europe that combines the virtues of a scholarly monograph with those of a general history. Professor Miskimin describes the intellectual and philosophical context in which economic decisions were made, and on which the fundamental economic categories of the period were based.

1. The abstractions of law and property
2. Recovery: population and money supply
3. Agriculture: the rising demand for food
4. Industry: technology and organization
5. Trade patterns in the wider world
6. Finances: private and public
7. Retrospect.
