In the documentary/episode 45 Economy of al-Andalus. Wealth, power and primary sector I explain the socioeconomic history of al-Andalus during the Umayyad and Taifa periods. How did we go from a rudimentary economy inherited from the Visigothic past to a highly dynamic and specialised tributary and mercantile economy? What is the relationship between the economic development of al-Andalus and the increase in inequality? How was wealth accumulated and redistributed? Was there an agricultural revolution in al-Andalus? You will find the answers to all these questions and many more throughout this two and a half hour episode.
