This book examines the fluctuation of agricultural prices in certain regions of Bavaria between 1900 and 1910. The study, contributed by various authors, including Michael Horlacher, Franz Hörenz, and Jörgen Hansen, seeks to identify the factors influencing land and goods prices during this period, particularly in relation to agricultural policies and tariffs. The research was initially prompted by a university challenge to document price movements in agricultural goods across Bavaria. It highlights significant changes in land ownership and price increases following the implementation of higher tariffs in 1906, drawing comparisons with similar trends in Prussia. The book provides a comprehensive analysis based on data from different districts, assessing the impact of governmental policies on rural economies. Intended for economists, historians, and scholars of agricultural policy, this work offers valuable insights into early 20th-century economic conditions in southern Germany. |
