Summary "The Economics of the Russian Village" by Isaac A. Hourwich is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book presents an in-depth analysis of the economic conditions of Russian peasants, exploring themes such as landholding structures, taxation, agricultural practices, and social dynamics within rural communities. It aims to provide insight into the unique challenges faced by the Russian agrarian economy and its implications for broader social issues. The opening of the work sets the stage by discussing the catastrophic famine affecting the Russian peasantry, prompting a need to investigate and understand the economic underpinnings that led to this crisis. Hourwich emphasizes the historical context of Russian agrarian communalism and private land ownership, illustrating how these systems have evolved and contributed to peasant struggles. He introduces various forms of land tenure, the implications of taxation, and the pressures that shape peasant life, making it clear that the failed economic structures and social dynamics are critical to understanding the plight of the Russian villagers.
