The Gentry Strikes Back

TL;DR: I review “The Long-Run Impact of the Dissolution of the English Monasteries,” by Leander Heldring, James Robinson, and Sebastian Vollmer. I laud the paper’s data collection, research question, and design and definitely buy the main results on social change and commercialization.
