Description

This book deals with the changing patterns of transmission of land and houses in a pre-industrial rural community of Southern Bohemia. By linking different sources, such as land registers and a family reconstitution, the study focuses on both the demographic and the economic factors that influenced peasant transmission strategies as well as on the consequences of changing transmission patterns for access to land-ownership.

Description

This book deals with the changing patterns of transmission of land and houses in a pre-industrial rural community of Southern Bohemia. By linking different sources, such as land registers and a family reconstitution, the study focuses on both the demographic and the economic factors that influenced peasant transmission strategies as well as on the consequences of changing transmission patterns for access to land-ownership. Die vorliegende Fallstudie untersucht die Weitergabe von Haus und Grundbesitz zwischen den Generationen und die daraus resultierenden Folgen für die demographische, ökonomische und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung vormoderner Gesellschaften. Erst im lokalen Kontext lassen sich die Widersprüche der bisherigen Forschung in Bezug auf den postulierten Zusammenhang zwischen Besitzwechsel und sozialer Polarisierung auflösen und der gesellschaftliche Wandel auf einer neuen Grundlage erklären.
