From Peasant to Proletarian: Capitalist Developments and Agrarian Transitions

by David E. Goodman, Michael Redclift

From Peasant to Proletarian examines capitalist development within agriculture and analyzes the relations between capitalist and peasant economies. One of the great merits of this book is that it combines a sophisticated review of the vast literature on agrarian transformation with the presentation of concrete and fascinating case studies of this process in action in Latin America.
