   Confident proclamations about economic history from someone who's never   
   studied it are amusing.   
      
   Pre-enclosure farming with roataion under the three-field system, where   
   land was held in common by the whole village, was not inefficient. It   
   provided for farmers' needs as well as a decent surplus. Enclosure   
   promoted monocultures which promoted crop failures. So much for bare   
   shelves.
