I am trying to read the parts of this book I haven't yet.
Dated, but she had relied on Braudel and Dore, among others; which is a rather good thing.
She unfortunately skipped the assumption of national economies (because she was understandably suspicious of 'economics profession' assumptions).
(However, models based on weak city-states within weaker regions do not give a good basis for political reform, unless the middle ages is your goal.)
My favorite passage so far may be the Henry Grady passage on an Atlanta funeral.
