This title was first published in 2001: The Problems and Methods of Economic History presents the author's magisterial view of his discipline at the height of his powers. Characterized by the perennial virtues of a profound depth of philosophical reflection allied to a tremendous breadth of learning, this, his seminal contribution shows the true excellence of his scholarship and width of conception. Drawing on the works of major scholars in all the principal European languages, east and west, he presents a capacious and far-sighted definition of the field, embracing the environment, labour, consumption, class relations and the history of economic thought itself. This is in addition to the more obvious topics of the history of prices, market formation, investment, firms, national accounts and demography. Witold Kula's many books have been translated into a number of languages, but this is the first time his most important work has been made available in English.
