The three introductory chapters on how to study production, market, and money and credit provide frames for the reviewed sample studies in Chaps. 6, 7 and 8. They offer some guidance to find your bearings in the jungle of concepts and debates which makes premodern economic history such an interesting, but challenging subject to study. Each chapter structures important and current debates in the field and explains the basic concepts used in these discussions. Most debates concern the premodern European economy in general. Whenever possible, we refer to corresponding studies for the Holy Roman Empire. We point to classic texts as well as to newer studies but offer no exhaustive compilation of all the research done in the area. |
