The book explores the emergence of capitalism in Peru's central highlands, highlighting its transformative effects on peasant economies and social structures. It details the division of the peasantry into an agrarian bourgeoisie and a rural proletariat, while also addressing how enduring peasant ideologies, kinship networks, and communal ties, shaped by economic insecurity, have complicated this social stratification.
