I shared your curiosity on this exact subject in the past. There is an interesting historiography entitled “The Transition from Feudalism to Capitalism,” originally published in the 1950s, which contains a collections of debates on this subject.
It is no frills and quite scholarly, but that is often the case for hyper focused, niche subjects.
- britzkopf 4y agoNot sure I would describe a multi decade history exploring the transition from feudalism to capitalism as "hyper focused", or niche for that matter.
- marnett 4y agoYour feedback is received. Granted, I do disagree. This is just one specific area of focus in the broader field of Marxist historiography. So it is niche. It is as niche as studying a specific subject area in the broader field of Egyptology, which again I don’t think would be a stretch to consider niche. Perhaps a takeaway we can both agree on is niche may not be the best word for describing what I’m talking about. Perhaps subfield of an academic discipline is.
