The Economic Rise of the Habsburg Empire

Although much has been written lately on the economic development of the Habsburg Empire, this work is the first full-scale synthesis. It is an excellent and extremely useful general economic history of the dual monarchy, with primary emphasis on the Austrian half. David Good is a capable economist, well trained in history, who has managed to maintain a very fine balance between the kind of analysis that is profitable for specialists and that at the same time is lucid enough for the general historian or reader.
