Economic dualism in modern Europe's history is explored through the development of the manorial-serf economy in Bohemia, Poland, and Hungary during the 16th and 17th centuries. The book examines how a combination of factors, including the political dominance of the nobility and the weakness of cities, disrupted the social balance seen in Western Europe. This imbalance hindered urban development and facilitated the rise of serfdom and manorial farms, coinciding with a growing demand for agricultural products in Western European markets.
