Abstract
The exchange between Brenner and Wood on the Low Countries in the early modern period raises a number of theoretical and historical issues relating to the conditions for the emergence of capitalist social‐property relations and their unique historical laws of motion. This contribution focuses on three issues raised in the Brenner‐Wood exchange: the conditions under which rural house‐hold producers become subject to ‘market coercion’, the potential for ecological crisis to restructure agricultural production, and the relative role of foreign trade and the transformation of domestic, rural class relations to capitalist industrialization.
