Food, Energy and the Creation of Industriousness: Work and Material Culture in Agrarian England, 1550–1780 - Cambridge Studies in Economic History - Second Series
Muldrew, Craig (University of Cambridge)
Until the widespread harnessing of machine energy, food fuelled the economy. In this groundbreaking 2011 study of agricultural labourers' diet and material standard of living, Craig Muldrew uses new empirical research to present a fuller account of the interrelationship between consumption, living standards and work than has previously existed.
