The Making of an Indian Ocean World-Economy, 1250-1650: Princes, Paddy Fields, and Bazaars

By Ravi Palat

To counter Eurocentric notions of long-term historical change, Wet Rice Cultivation and the Emergence of the Indian Ocean draws upon the histories of societies based on wet-rice cultivation to chart an alternate pattern of social evolution and state formation and traces inter-state linkages and the growth of commercialization without capitalism.
