by Steven a. Epstein (Author)
"Relying on a broad range of printed and secondary sources, Wage Labor and Guilds charts the history of guilds from their antecedents in the Roman Empire to their 'crisis' in the fourteenth century. . . . As a much-needed synthesis, [the book] will serve students well." -- Speculum

"Epstein takes a fresh look at the organization of labor in medieval towns and emphasizes the predominance of a wage system within them.
