"En la introducción de este libro se puede encontrar un resumen de la famosa (y polémica) Tesis de Pirenne, que luego sería desarrollada en "Mahoma y Carlomagno", obra póstuma. Luego pasa a dar un detallado análisis de las relaciones económicas y sociales de la época, como el título indica: el origen de la burguesía y de las villas, las actividades económicas en los feudos, las ferias, la ocupación de los territorios europeos, las migraciones normandas, etc. Una oportunidad más de acercarse a este gran historiador de la edad media y de disfrutar su gran conocimiento."
"Right up there with his class on the Medieval city, but still Pirenne falls a little short. He becomes a little too vehement against other authors about mid way through, and this makes the read a little painful. Also, the translation could use a good overhaul and the syntax some brushing up- lots of misspellings."
