Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the emergence and evolution of the middle class in England, spanning the 11th to 16th centuries. The author challenges the traditional view that the middle class has always existed in some form, arguing instead that it emerged as a distinct social strata during this period, characterized by their reliance on money as their primary condition and instrument of life. Through meticulous research, the author unveils the gradual shift in society as feudalism waned and currency gained prominence, creating opportunities for individuals to accumulate wealth beyond the traditional manorial system. The book explores how this new class, initially comprising merchants and traders, played a pivotal role in shaping urban life, politics, and the economy, ultimately transforming the social landscape of England.
