Reviews & endorsements
"The Caroligian Economy is an extremely useful compendium, orderly and deft in its presentation of a remote period's economics. In this book the author has synthesized enormous amounts of research in many languages, performing a service to speacialists in Carolingian and economic history... in The Carolingian Economy Verhulst furnishes a concise and judicious synthesis, full of information and insight, that is actually fun to read."
