Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book critically evaluates the 'Village Communities Theory', an influential theory in Economic History. The theory, advanced by Maurer, Thudichum, Nasse, Laveleye, and Maine, posits that the earliest form of land ownership among the Germans and other European peoples was collective. The author argues that the theory is flawed due to its problematic reliance on the writings of Caesar and Tacitus, and its failure to account for evidence of private property ownership during the same time period. Further, the author presents evidence to demonstrate that the communal land ownership observed in medieval and early modern Europe is not a relic of ancient communism but rather a product of manorialism and serfdom. This book is essential reading for scholars interested in the origins of property ownership and land tenure, and challenges prevailing assumptions about the nature of early European societies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330726396_0
