Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In this collection, British and Argentinian historians analyse the Asiatic, Germanic, peasant, slave, feudal, and tributary modes of production by exploring historical processes and diverse problems of Marxist theory.

The studies treat an array of pre-capitalist social formations, including medieval Iceland and Norway, Byzantium, the Roman Empire, ancient Egypt, medieval León and Castile, and the Castilian later Middle Ages.

By examining these societies, Studies in Pre-capitalist Modes of Production offers a comprehensive look at how different socio-economic structures functioned and evolved over time.

The book is praised for its dialectical analysis and case studies that align with Marx's approach, highlighting the dynamic interrelations within pre-capitalist modes of production. It suggests that a deeper understanding of human history is possible if Marxists move beyond fixed analytical categories and engage more fully with Marx's original thought process.
