Germany Volume II: A New Social & Economic History 1630-1800

This is the second volume of the first truly modern survey of German social and economic history ever published. It makes accessible in English, often for the first time, the work of leading German historians, and also includes papers by scholars from other countries. These renowned experts contribute essays on such key themes as the dislocation caused by economic downturn and the Thirty Years War in the first half of the 17th-century, the gradual recovery up to the year of 1800, and the long-term structural legacy of the 17th-century crises.
