This is a revised and translated version of Englands Weg in die Marktgesellschaft (2009). It investigates the formation of modern market society in England. The study combines a structural analysis that aims to identify the social, economic, and legal structures of the late Middle Ages and Early Modern period that made it possible for market society to develop (and the changes to those structures that occurred due to the rise of markets) with a process perspective that stresses the gradual evolution of commercialization in England and focuses on the development pattern and potential of this process. The author investigates the influence of social relationships on market developments, as well as the creation of institutions and modes of communication. The focus is on the formation of the English domestic market, but foreign trade receives some attention. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
