In the European feudal system under manorilism what is the most significant economy commodity?
In the European feudal system under manorialism, the most significant economic commodity was land. Land was the primary source of wealth and power, as it provided the means for agricultural production, which was essential for sustenance and trade. Peasants, or serfs, worked the land in exchange for protection and a place to live, making their labor crucial to the economy. Thus, landownership and agricultural output were central to the feudal economy.
Was the feudal system a good system?
While this question would seem to require a subjective answer depending on what one regards fairness as being, I think we can feel confident in saying the feudal system was not fair to everyone. The idea that a person could advance based on his or her own merits was not really developed, there were slaves in some feudal societies, and serfs were not allowed to live where they wished. There were tradeoffs. The serfs were theoretically protected by their lords, and this meant they should have been kept safe in times of war or famine, and they were defended from criminals. Whether this actually happened was another issue. The lords were given lands in exchange for promises of loyalty and support. The amount of land depended on what the king wanted to give, and while the support was proportional to the ability of the land to produce, the loyalty was absolute regardless of the amount of land or the titles. Fairness did not actually come into the picture. The monarchs had great demands placed on them and did not necessarily have much freedom. Their obligations to protect their people may have been clear, but the political pressures they were under usually were not. The system itself produced some of the problems they had, and if their lifestyles compensated them for this, I think they were lucky. The writers of the time talked of three groups of people, one (peasants) feeding everyone, one (nobility) protecting everyone, and one (clergy) praying for everyone. They said this in part to illustrate the fairness of the system. But to my way of thinking, the question should be whether the feudal system was fair to anyone at all.
What social structure formed the basis of the European economy?
The European economy was fundamentally based on the feudal system, which emerged in the Middle Ages. This social structure was characterized by a hierarchy of lords, vassals, and serfs, where land was the primary source of wealth and power. Lords granted land to vassals in exchange for military service and protection, while serfs worked the land and provided agricultural produce. This system created a localized economy that was largely agrarian and dependent on the relationships between different social classes.
