Poverty Bewertungen

"A wise, distinguished medieval historian, veteran of Poland's own battles with poverty, here extends himself over a millennium and a continent to illuminate the constantly-changing social conditions, definitions, explanations, political measures, and charitable actions by which Europeans have generated, mitigated, and stigmatized material hardship." Charles Tilly

"A serious, meticulously researched history, Geremek's is a fine account of a fascinating and perennially topical subject." Literary Review
