I don’t think I ever thanked you before for your erudite commentary on the Chapter-by-Chapter analysis. I am especially grateful for your introducing me to new concepts. I am curious about the Refeudalization of Poland especially, which you mentioned in Arya’s ACOK first chapter in Harrenhal. Can you tell me more about it or if there’s a book that mentions it?

Thanks very much! 

Yeah, there’s a fair few books that examine refeudalization and/or “the second serfdom”:

• J. K. Fedorowicz, et al, A Republic of Nobles

• Fernand Braudel, Civilization and Capitalism: the 15th-18th Centuries

• Piotr Stefan Wandycz, The Price of Freedom

• Markus Cerman, Villagers and Lords in Eastern Europe

• Jacek Kochanowicz, Backwardness and Modernization 
• Daniel Chirot ed., The Origins of Backwardness in Eastern Europe
• Alessandro Stanziani, Bondage: Labor and Rights in Eurasia
