Sammanfattning.
The Finn-peasants in Mången. Earth, people and a legal view
in a pre-proletarian mining district.
The focus of this study is the phenomenon of the so-called
original accumulation. The presentation is integrated in a study
of a local material: the farm Mången and the Finnish family, who lived
there between about 1650 and 1800. Through detailed investigations of
demographic, fiscal and court material, the families are reconstructed
as well as their production and value systems. In 1686 Mången
and the other Finn-farms in the Hällefors district were
granted by the crown as a fiefdom to the Hällefors
silver-works. The idea of a private proprietary right, a
reception from the Roman law and confirmed by law in Sweden
in 1789, answered to the endeavours to accumulate ground
properties. The driving force behind this process was the aspiration
of the feudal lords to seize the whole surplus product. As
relatively independent agrarian producers the Finn-peasants in
Mången could save part of their surplus product for
themselves. They could also fight a class-struggle,
manifested by opposition to the feudal law, especially the
regale. In 1790 a peasant in Mången was forced by a
resolution of the mining court to sell his right to the earth
to the Hällefors silver-works and thus became an agrarian
proletarian.
