During the Middle Ages, southwest Germany was one of the most prosperous areas of central Europe, but the Thirty Years War brought devastating social and economic dislocation to the region. Focusing on the town of Schw??bisch Hall, Terence McIntosh explores the causes and consequences of the sluggish recovery of the regions urban communities in the century after the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. He argues that changing relations between town and countryside contributed significantly to the weakening of urban craft production and, therefore, to the regions urban stagnation. In his economic and structural analysis of Schw??bisch Hall, McIntosh explores the significance and changes over time of wealth inequalities, marriage and migration patterns, and class formation. He demonstrates that the rapid proliferation of the rural craft industry within the region eroded the ability of small-scale urban artisans to keep pace. This process in turn profoundly affected the structure of urban society and economy. McIntoshs analysis constitutes a significant reinterpretation of the process of urban class formation and economic transformation in early modern Germany.
