Providing an accessible introduction to agrarian political economy, he shows clearly how the argument for "bringing class back in" provides an alternative to inherited conceptions of the agrarian question. He also ably illustrates what is at stake in different ways of thinking about class dynamics and the effects of agrarian change in today's globalized world.Agrarian change and peasant studies series.Rural developmentSocial classesCapitalismAgricultural productivityRural development.Social classes.Capitalism.Agricultural productivity.307.1/412091724Bernstein Henry140765MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809368903321Class dynamics of agrarian change3930043UNINA
