THE ECONOMIC HISTORY OF LATER-MEDIEVAL AND EARLY-MODERN EUROPE
(European Economic History, 1250 - 1750)
COURSE BIBLIOGRAPHY: SELECTED READINGS
In your term essays and on the examinations you are expected to provide evidence of having done a reasonable amount of reading for this course. But nothing on this list should be considered as compulsory readings, though you should read at least one or two textbooks (or find equivalent readings on your own). These bibliographic references are intended only to provide more general references for term essays; or they may be used as supplemental, voluntary readings and references for lectures, etc. The following bibliography contains only books (textbooks, monographs, collections of essays, etc.); recommended journal articles will be found in the separate lists for readings/essays (five per term).
After using this bibliography as a general guide, do consult the bibliographies for the 25 Essay and General Reading Topics for this course (both terms), which are or will be available online, posted on my Home Page: http://economics.utoronto.ca/munro5/
Library catalogue numbers have been provided for the more important books.
Most economic history books are catalogued with the prefix HC 240; those in British economic history, with HC 253, HC 254.5.
I. READINGS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY:
A. GENERAL TEXTBOOKS (Optional)
There are no mandatory textbooks for this course; nevertheless, most students would like at least one general reference book; and I can recommend the first two book listed, by Carlo Cipolla and Ralph Davis, as general textbooks for the year. You need not feel compelled to buy both (though that might be a good idea); and one will be sufficient. As either alternatives or as supplementary reading, you may consider the books that follow these two, all of which are, to repeat, purely optional.
** 1. Carlo M. Cipolla, Before the Industrial Revolution: European Society and Economy, 1000 - 1700, 3rd edition (London and New York: Norton, 1994). HC 240 C49513 1994
This is an excellent general survey by one of the world's most renowned living economic historians of medieval and early modern Europe (whose principal training is in history, rather than economics). Except for chapter 10, with some national economic surveys, the approach is European wide and 'macro-economic', with chapters on: (1) 'Demand;' (2) 'The Factors of Production;' (3) 'Productivity and Production;' (4) 'The Urban Revolution;' (5) 'Population;' (6) 'Technology;' (7) 'Enterprise, Credit, and Money;' (8) 'Production, Incomes, and Consumption, 1000 - 1500;' (9) 'The Emergence of the Modern Age,' and (10) 'The Changing Balance of Economic Power in Europe, 1500 -1700.'
* 2. Ralph Davis, The Rise of the Atlantic Economies, World Economic History series (London: Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 1973). In paperback: 352 pp. HC 240 D32.
This may be considered the other or alternative principal reference text for the entire year. As the title suggests, however, it necessarily omits the Mediterranean, Baltic, and Central European regions; but since the ultimate focus of the course will be is on the Atlantic powers, especially the Netherlands and England, this may not be such a serious deficiency. The book is very well written, and quite comprehensive, though principally historical in orientation, with very little economics; it is also now rather dated in the coverage of some topics.
* 3. Peter Musgrave, The Early Modern European Economy, European History in Perspective Series (Basingstoke: MacMillans; and New York: St. Martin's Press, 1999). HC 240 .M793 1999X.
A very good, often profound survey of the early modern European economy (if somewhat superficial in coverage), covering the second half of the course. Both topical and regional, with the following chapters:
4. Fernand Braudel, Capitalism and Material Life, 1400 - 1800, translated by Miriam Koch (New York, 1967; reissued 1971, 1981). HC 45 B 713; also: HC 51 B67413 1981.
A renowned and classic study [subsequently elaborated and developed as his three-volume study: Civilization and Capitalism, 15th - 18th Century (1979)], you may well better enjoy or prefer this book to the Davis book, though I still believe that the Davis book is better suited to this course. Unfortunately, however, this book is now out of print, and thus is available only in the university libraries.
5. Edwin S. Hunt and James M. Murray, A History of Business in Medieval Europe, 1200 - 1550, Cambridge Medieval Textbooks (Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999). Despite some lukewarm reviews, I find this to be a very useful survey of later-medieval West European commercial and financial history, with a focus on Italy and the Low Countries; but it does not cover the second half of the course.
6. Harry Miskimin, The Economy of Early Renaissance Europe, 1300 - 1460 (1969; reissued Cambridge UP, 1977). HC 41 M5 1975.
This book is now out of print, and thus available only in the libraries.
7. Harry A. Miskimin, The Economy of Later Renaissance Europe, 1460-1600 (Cambridge University Press, 1977). HC 240 M649.
This book is also now out of print, and thus available only in the libraries.
* 8. Jan De Vries, The Economy of Europe in an Age of Crisis, 1600 - 1750 (Cambridge University Press, 1976). HC 240 D48 1976. Some copies may still be available in the U of T bookstore, or in second-hand book stores in the vicinity. An outstanding and very important, very profound survey of early-modern economic history.
These three books (4 - 6) are published as part of a Cambridge University Press series in European economic history. They are well written, entertaining, short and concise, but thus much thinner in content than the Davis; and their analyses (especially Miskimin's) are also more biased than Davis's book.
* 9. Thomas A. Brady, jr., Heiko O. Oberman, and James D. Tracy, eds., Handbook of European History, 1400-1600: Late Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation, Vol. I: Structures and Assertions (Leiden, New York, and Cologne: E.J. Brill, 1994). D203 H33 1994.
This book (listed at $50.00 U.S.) is too expensive to buy, but a much cheaper paper-back edition is forthcoming. The following chapters indicate the importance of the contents. Despite the time-frame given in the title, 1400-1600, most of these studies (and certainly mine) begin before and end after these dates.
10. Jean Favier, Gold and Spices: the Rise of Commerce in the Middle Ages, trans. Caroline Higgitt. (London and New York: Holmes & Meier, 1998). HC 41 .F3813 1998X. See my less than laudatory review of this book in The International History Review, 21:4 (December 1999), 976-78.
In addition to these books, you should (I am tempted to say 'must') acquire the following:
*** Deirdre N. McCloskey, Economical Writing, 2nd edition (Waveland Press, Illinois, 2000). In 89 pages of text.
This book is evidently not in the Robarts Library, which probably decided not to acquire it in addition to the previous version, published as: D. N. McCloskey, The Writing of Economics (New York: MacMillan, 1987), which is thus now out of print, but may be available as second-hand copies. In just 63 pages. PE 1479 E35M33 1987.
Most students should find this short book valuable for writing essays, both in economic history and in economics more generally.

II. ECONOMIC THEORY, ECONOMETRICS, AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY
Economic Theory and Econometrics in Economic History Literature
Most of the textbooks listed above involve only minimal economic theory. Most students, I suspect, will find this relative absence of complex theory, calculus, and econometrics to be more of an advantage than a disadvantage, since most undergraduates do not handle theoretical problems well in economic history, and are often perplexed on encountering econometrics. At this point let me reassure the majority of students that you are not required to employ either theory or econometrics in any essay or examination. To be sure, employing them correctly and cogently will undoubtedly enhance the quality of your work; but do not use these theoretical tools unless you are absolutely certain of them.
Those who would welcome more theory and econometrics will not, however, be disappointed. You will encounter as much as you want in the current journal articles that are assigned in the essays/readings lists. I fully realize that the reactions of many students in encountering econometrics (and calculus) and complex theoretical propositions in this journal literature is often a mixture of dismay and terror. In such cases, my advice is as follows: (a) read around the econometrics, etc., which are chiefly designed to provide numerate, mathematical support for literary claims that are written in perfectly intelligible English; and/or (b) consult one or more of the following guides.
A. ECONOMETRICS AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS IN ECONOMIC HISTORY
