The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History

A unique view of historical change, based on the rise and fall of prices. Records of prices span the entire range of history, from medieval grain prices to modern statistics. Going beyond the economic data, this text gives a history of the people of the Western world: the economic patterns they lived in, and the politics, culture and society they created as a result.
