inform the neo-institutionalist perspective in the first section. In the second section, the model of feudal economic function by one of the most renowned Polish economic historians, W. Kula, is used for reconstructing the manor economy of Eastern Europe (and especially the RTN) in the 16th–18th centuries from the Marxist perspective. The third section features the above-mentioned studies as well as additional literature (J. Topolski, A. Wyczański, P. Gorecki, K. Glamann, E. J. Hobsbawn, S. Pamerneckis and others), to illustrate in detail for the first time in historiography and expand upon, the structural similarities and differences between the Western European manor in the 11th–15th centuries and the Eastern European manor in the 16th–18th centuries according to both of the aforementioned perspectives. Arguments are put forward for the thesis that the manor economy of the 16th–18th centuries in the RTN, affected by Western Europe’s developing capitalist relationships, can be qualified neither as a typical feudal economy (which the Western European manor of the Middle Ages should properly be considered) nor as a typical capitalist enterprise. The RTN manor of the 16th–18th centuries was an economy based on the total domination by the lord of the peasants oriented to the production of merchantile goods, as one of the forms used by the lord for accumulating capital.
