内容説明
This book is concerned with money as an indicator of economic activity. It makes a comprehensive examination of the use of money from Afghanistan to Bihar, and from Kashmir to Malwa, during the period AD 750-1250. Its major premise is that the patterns of production, exchange and dispersion of money over time can be used to define the economic systems of early medieval North India. This book explains and interprets the economic history of the period, using current models of feudalization, decentralization, trade and commerce. The author rejects the common perception that money during this period was scarce, primitive and debased, by analyzing the evidence of surviving coin hoards. His findings suggest a considerably greater reliance on money, closer co-ordination of its use and its wider circulation in larger quantities, than is consistent with many current models of the early medieval Indian economy.
