Absolutely loved Mediaeval Socialism. Finished it in two sittings — Jarrett, Bede writes so clearly.

Description
Bede Jarrett’s Mediaeval Socialism challenges the standard Marxist reading of communal history. Rather than viewing medieval cooperation as a primitive precursor to modern socialism, Jarrett argues that the medieval commune was a sophisticated system of collective ownership and mutual obligation that functioned on its own terms — one that modern political theory often mislabels. The text re-examines how shared resources and communal lands created a form of economic cooperation independent of 19th-century frameworks.\n\nThrough rigorous historical analysis, Jarrett demonstrates that medieval economic structures were not merely pre-capitalist relics but fully realized systems of cooperation. The book reclaims these histories from contemporary ideological flattening and presents the medieval commune as a sophisticated model of shared resources. Essential reading for historians, political theorists, and anyone interested in the evolution of economic cooperation.

Good value. Not mind-blowing, but I'd buy it again.
