An important study of institutional change pre-industrialisation, Bottomley examines wardship, the Crown right to seize underage heirs and their land. Wardship was highly corrupted and representative of decaying state capacity. Without constitutional change in the seventeenth-century, Britain could not have industrialised in the eighteenth.
