Study economic history!

[Djehuti]

Are any communists interested in studying economic history? I have recently read a few great books on economic history, and they have tought me a lot. I would like to recomend you Leo Huberman's Mans worldly goods (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0853450706/qid=1123698792/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-0792776-1480938?v=glance&s=books&n=507846), a quite easy and pedagogic - yet scientific - work on the transition from feodalism into capitalism. A true marxist classic and a great read!

On the same subject, I would also like to recomend Perry Anderson's Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1859841074/qid=1123699201/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/102-0792776-1480938?v=glance&s=books) and his follow up Lineages of the Absolutist State (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/086091710X/qid=1123699174/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-0792776-1480938?v=glance&s=books). Also great marxian books on history.

Order now!

learning economic history is important but i havnt read any of theses books.

Hmm... as a rule I only buy Leftist literature second hand, or just borrow as I feel there is a weird conflit-of-interest there.

But I'm going to the library soon and shall look up these books.

Most I’ve my books have been given to me by other people and a few second hand books and one or two that I’ve brought myself new which where impossible to find second hand.
