<p>How do peasants, producing mainly for themselves, become capitalist farmers, producing largely for sale? What happens to farm sizes, farming practices, the farm family, farm workers, and the relationships between cultivators and others in the process of this transition?

These questions are answered by carefully combining theories with meticulous analysis of the abundant Swedish documentation that has survived.</p>
