New Chance for Cliometrics: Examining the Inequalities of Wealth and Income in Ottoman Rural Economy

It is a commonplace in the writings on the Ottoman social and economic history that the discriminatory rates outside the provinces under the miri land regime, as well as the “fines”, which the tax records are calling badihava or niyabet, do not display any meaningful connection with any of the other known figures, in particular with the number of fiscal units. The first misconception was due to “too much statistics”, while the second one is a consequence of the “no statistics” approach. The use of more traditional historical criticism can help to soften the pessimistic view.
