Economic and Social History of Medieval Europe

The Economic and Social History of Medieval Europe, which examines the causes of Europe's economic and social change from the end of the Roman Empire to the mid-fifteenth century, is now one of the classic sources. This work by Belgian historian Henri Pirenne is one of the main parts of a very comprehensive European history edition. The work, which was translated and expanded into English during the author's lifetime due to its contribution to the discussions on the Middle Ages, has become one of the basic discussion texts on this subject.
The conditions that paved the way for capitalism, how urban trade changed its shape, major population movements, the transformation of money within itself and the factors affecting this transformation are discussed with a tracing that spans centuries. These changes in economic life are not limited to this area alone, but are added to the table of the Middle Ages by taking into account the transformation of cities and population movements, and sometimes even by examining a part of a country in detail. Against a unique perception of the Middle Ages, Pirenne shows how deeply he deals with the subject by constantly talking about the Middle Ages with its own internal changes. This classic work, which perfectly addresses not only capitalism as an economic system but also how the economy itself is transformed, meets the readers with Uygur Kocabasoglu's meticulous translation.
