Given the robust criticisms that Arrighi has made of Frank's analysis it is a little surprising that the editors have been so ready to relate the two to each other.

The editors favour an alternative definition: ‘Small agricultural producers who intend to make a living by selling part of their crops or herds’, but this, while being simpler than the Saul and Woods version is no less ambiguous.
