This book, first published in 1939, was originally conceived as an investigation of peasant farming in Europe written in the years of the agricultural depression of the nineteen-thirties. It shows an immense contrast between the well-capitalized commercial peasant farming of Western Europe and the poor subsistence farming of the remotest parts of Eastern Europe; and between these two extremes a wide range of variation in standards of living and farming efficiency.
