“…Marx envisaged Europe as evolving from primitive communal life through the successive 'modes of production of slavery, feudalism and capitalism'. He specifically excluded Asia from this process, with the important exception of Japan that he unhesitatingly described as 'feudal' (see Marx 1967: 718), an opinion confirmed by the complementary authority of Marc Bloch (1961) and John Whitney .…”

“…OS moradores locais ainda reclamam hoje de trabalhar em horários fixos (em vez de seguir o tempo das estações), de trabalharem com estranhos em vez de com família estendida e amigos, e de como eles têm que deixar suas famílias para trás e serem subordinados a chefes que frequentemente os tratam com preconceito. Ver Bloch (2014).…”

“…The high cost of horse and armor, and the long period of training required for knightly proficiency, would have been impossible without the surplus for rents and taxes over the peasant's consumption that the heavy plow provided. At a time such as the ninth and tenth centuries, with incessant raids by the Muslims in the south and west, Vikings on the northern coasts, and marauding Magyars from the east, the peasant also needed the protection of the knight, so that ''stirrup and plow'' together were the effective cultural package powering the rise of Western Europe during these centuries (Bloch 1962). Both peasant and warrior needed the consolation and spiritual guidance of the priest, who in turn was supported and protected in his cloister by the peasant and the warrior, together constituting the ''Three Orders'' of medieval feudal society as depicted by Georges Duby (1980).…”

The Economics of the Frontier

All of his professional life, Eli Heckscher was concerned with the methodology of economics and economic history. Straddling both disciplines, it was essential for him to come to grips with the problem of what one discipline could learn from the other and vice versa (Findlay 1998; Findlay and Lundahl 2002; Henriksson and Lundahl 2003). Gradually he also introduced the use of statistical time series in his works, notably his four-volume magnum opus about the economic history of Sweden from the time of Gustav Vasa (1523-1560) to ''the present,'' which in practice meant the early nineteenth century. As he moved from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century the availability of quantitative material increased, and Heckscher made use of it. However, he steadfastly refused to be bound by the strict limits imposed by the ''hard'' facts when it came to the interpretation of a certain epoch. He certainly took great care to weed out hypotheses not grounded in facts, but he was no stranger to hypothetical reasoning either. Such reasoning was needed for arriving at a historical synthesis, and the refusal to go beyond just what the sources would reveal, after thorough critical scrutiny, was for him to stop short of attempting a synthesis. The present essay should be seen as the effort of two economists to provide a building block for a historical synthesis. We would like to combine Heckscher's plea for economic theory in economic history with his insistence on historical synthesis into a plea for economic theory in historical synthesis. The roots of the essay are found in economic theory, which we employ very much in the fashion that Heckscher used it in his historical works: as a device for explaining the equilibrating processes in economic history during a determined period. We also share with Heckscher the conviction that it is difficult to use economic theory to explain transitions from one historical epoch or era to another. Here factors exogenous from the point of view of
