Challenging conventional beliefs, this book argues that rural populations did not simply abandon self-sufficiency in favor of single commodity production. It explores the complexities of rural economies and the factors influencing their transformation, offering a nuanced perspective on agricultural practices and community dynamics. Through detailed analysis, it reexamines the historical and social contexts that shaped these changes, providing insights into the resilience and adaptability of rural societies.
