Product Review
"A History of the European Economy, 1000-2000 gives a very clear and well-documented overview of Europe's economic development from the moment it emerged as an integrating economic system in the late Middle Ages up to the present. Francois Crouzet's great blending of the results of new research with the traditional historiography brings a substantial contribution to the field." - Herman Van der Wee, Leuven University, Belgium"
Product Description
Considering Europe as a whole rather than as a mosaic of individual states, Francois Crouzet presents this history of the European economy during the second millennium. Stressing the common economic institutions shared over time by the different regions of Europe and the networks of relations that have linked them, Crouzet looks at pan-European changes and integration rather than merely the particular experiences of individual countries. This work goes beyond addressing the historical ramifications of trade in the European economy to encompass problems such as the diffusion of technology, the migration of capital and labour, diasporas and minorities, and national diversity. By stressing the historical origins of the drive toward European integration and its progress all the way to the birth of the Euro, Crouzet delivers a comprehensive overview of European economic history.
Reader Reviews
Prof. Crouzet certainly does work in broad strokes, and is at his best in the more recent period in which he is expert. The lack of precise references is a fault, though he has a better feel for the need for something where recent scholarship has changed an old interpretation on later periods. Such references he does sometimes supply. On p. 262, n. 13, he claims, however, that Sicily was the scene of a massacre of Muslims near the end of the 13th century. The Sicilian Vespers uprising against the French in 1282, which he never expressly mentions, entailed the massacre of French occupiers by Sicilians (not necessarily Muslims). I would certainly be interested in a reference supporting any massacre of Muslim population in Sicily in the medieval period. Can one truly speak (p. 22) of the "reconquest of Sicily and Spain," in, as it were, a single smooth motion? I have serious doubts. Sicily had been solidly in Norman hands at least since the mid-12th century. One simply cannot look at medieval polities in terms of 20th century all-or-nothing sovereignties.
