In our quest to understand ordinary people’s lives we need tools to disentangle peasant economy. A basic effort has been to render agency to the peasant, to recognise that peasants were active actors in rural history.

The main goal has been to develop and test a new conceptualisation of peasant economy. With the introduction of the concept “integrated peasant economy” (IPE), we have a tool that can enhance our understanding of how peasants who mixed different income sources organised their activity, and were able to manage a complex household economy. IPE enables a better comparability among regions and cases as well as through time. For these reasons this book is a step forward in our understanding of peasant economy.

The volume presents a number of case studies concentrating on the Alps and Scandinavia, that reveal a remarkable comparative potential, but including also other areas of Slovenia, Italy and even Japan, proving that the integrated peasant economy is applicable to different regions and historical periods.
