The collapse of the share-cropping system, the mezzadria, which was the rural production system of Tuscany, is examined in this monograph. The progress of agriculture, concentrating on field production and becoming increasingly dependent on industry, is detailed.

This monograph analyzes the developments in rural life in detail and at the same time places them in a wider context, exploring the strengths and weaknesses of theoretical writings on modern agriculture. What is revealed is a profound transformation in the rationality of farming, one which touches every aspect of the lives of rural people.

The share-cropping heritage; economic changes in the family farming sector; experiences of farming since the land reform; the Montalcino estates; quantity and quality. Appendices: Costs in the family-farming sector; costs of wine production.
