'The Carolingian Economy is an extremely useful compendium, orderly and deft in its presentation of a remote period's economics ...Verhulst furnishes a concise and judicious synthesis, full of information and insight, that is actually fun to read.'

The Agricultural History Review 'In this significant and very useful book, Verhulst presents us with a coherent and 'believable' image of the Carolingian economy.' Early Medieval Europe
