Pieter M. Judson
In a panoramic and pioneering reappraisal, Pieter M. Judson shows why the Habsburg Empire mattered so much, for so long, to millions of Central Europeans.
Rejecting fragmented histories of nations in the making, this bold revision surveys the shared institutions that bridged difference and distance to bring stability and meaning to the far-flung empire. By supporting new schools, law courts, and railroads along with scientific and artistic advances, the Habsburg monarchs sought to anchor their authority in the cultures and economies of Central Europe. A rising standard of living throughout the empire deepened the legitimacy of Habsburg rule, as citizens learned to use the empire's administrative machinery to their local advantage. Nationalists developed distinctive ideas about cultural difference in the context of imperial institutions, yet all of them claimed the Habsburg state as their empire.
The empire's creative solutions to governing its many lands and peoples - as well as the intractable problems it could not solve - left an enduring imprint on its successor states in Central Europe. Its lessons remain no less important today.

Social & economic history of the empire from Maria Theresa to its collapse

The book is a more academic and detailed study that seems to be an extension of a doctoral thesis, if you are looking for details - this is a good book. If you are looking for someone to tell a riveting story, you will be disappointed. Otherwise, I found it interesting and informative, but maybe a tad monotonous at times.
Very Detailed and Academic

I will say that I loved the narration. Mr. Page’s delivery is very easy to listen to and it kept me coming back to the book, even when I felt like the material was getting a bit dry.
Very Informative, If a Bit Dry

Ideal for students of empires, nationalism, minorities and ethnic groups

The only weakness of this book is in the weak development of the rise of the Habsburg Empire. There is light discussion on how the lands were collected and grown under the Habsburgs, more the story of the 18th and 19th century administration of the Habsburgs lands. I think a better fleshing out of how the Habsburgs acquired their various holdings would add an important foundation to the later discussions of the various territories and people groups that made up the empire.
