The agrarian system of Mughal India, 1556-1707 - 3rd ed. - New Delhi Oxford University Press 2014 - xvii, 548 p. - Oxford India Paperbacks .

This is a new, updated edition of a classic work first published in 1963. A major synthesis of the economic and political history of Mughal times, it contains a detailed description of agricultural production, peasant life, land rights, trade and prices, the land-revenue administration, and the role of the state. It adds to the evidence and refines some perceptions presented in the second edition of 1999, revising in particular the material on price history.
The book has been a valuable resource for students and researchers of Mughal history for the last fifty years, with many of its key findings becoming standard points of reference in the field.
