He is the editor of this series; his publications include Dark Age Economics, The Anglo-Saxon Achievement, Towns and Trade in the Age of Charlemagne, Goodbye to the Vikings and (as co-author) Villa to Village, all published by Bloomsbury.Trade ReviewRichard Hodges’ Dark Age Economics: The Origins of Towns and Trade (1982) was one of the most influential and provocative works on early medieval archaeology in the latter part of the 20th century . . . Dark Age Economics: A New Audit sees Hodges survey the impact of his work and summarise his current thinking on the issues that it raised. For each, it makes for a stimulating and thought-provoking read . . . [The book] provides an extraordinary wealth of ideas for further cogitation; like its predecessor, it deserves to be read and discussed extensively. -- A Merrills, University of Leicester * Medieval Archaeology *This is a distinguished archaeologist’s overview of the current assessment of the early medieval economy since his Dark Age Economics: The Origins of Towns and Trade AD 600–1000 (1982) … Perhaps of greatest interest to readers will be Chapter 4, which reports recent scholarship on monasteries, focusing on San Vincenzo at Volturno in Beneventum as it adjusted its production to its changing environment in the eighth and ninth centuries. -- David Tandy, University of Leeds * Religious Studies Review *Table of ContentsPreface The Debate Models The 'Original Affluent Society'?

University Press of America The Birth of A Transfer Society
Book SynopsisThe growth of transfers from miniscule to major proportion of the gross national product has resulted in a decreasing productivity, increasing allocation of resources in obtaining and maintaining transfers, as well as increasing the social tension over the legitimacy and allocation of transfers. The authors of this study trace the historical reasons for the rise of transfers, most specifically in the United States. They offer a detailed analysis of the impact of the entire constitution and its interpretation on economic activity. In their provocative conclusion they argue against the willing surrender of transfer privileges and offer in solution the suggestion that new constitutional provisions be drafted to limit the power of government to effect transfers and reestablish our economic health. For students of Economic History, Public Policy and American Government. Originally published in 1980 by the Hoover Institution Press.Trade ReviewI find Hill and Anderson's book to be a refreshing antidote to the social history approach. They write about what might be called 'the rules of the game' that influence entire societies over great sweeps of time. * Journal of Economic History *I find Hill and Anderson's book to be a refreshing antidote to the social history approach.

Cambridge University Press Fair Trade
Book SynopsisThe fair trade movement has been one of the most enduring and successful civic initiatives to come out of the 1960s. In the first transnational history of the movement, Peter van Dam charts its ascendance and highlights how activists attempted to transform the global market in the aftermath of decolonization. Through original archival research into the trade of handicrafts, sugar, paper, coffee and clothes, van Dam demonstrates how the everyday, material aspects of fair trade activism connected the international politics of decolonization with the daily realities of people across the globe. He explores the different scales at which activists operated and the instruments they employed in the pursuit of more equitable economic relations between the global South and North. Through careful analysis of a now ubiquitous global movement, van Dam provides a vital new lens through which to view the history of humanitarianism in the age of postcolonial globalization.
