Setton (1914-1995) of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. Translation of: Wirtschaftliche und soziale Grundlagen der europäishchen Kulturentwicklung. The first American edition of Dopsch's second edition (1923-24) of Die Wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Grundlagen der Europäischen Kulturentwicklung.

A classic work.
