What is the name of an estate that a lord would grant to a vassal?
The estate granted by a lord to a vassal is called a "fief." In the feudal system, this fief typically included land and the rights to its resources, and in exchange, the vassal would provide military service and loyalty to the lord. Fiefs were essential for establishing the hierarchical structure of feudal society.

How is a feudal system an economic system?
The feudal system was really a system of political-military allegiances whereby aristocrats gave landed estates to lesser aristocrats and knights in exchange for loyalty and military services. The economic dimension of the system is that the aristocrats were landlords who appropriated the produce of the peasants and ensured their labour services through serfdom. Through serfdom, the peasants were tied to the lord and were not allowed to leave their villages. They also had to pay a rent. Sharecropping (paying with a share of the harvest) was common, but cash payments also developed. Labour services were obtained through the requirement to work on the estate of the lord for set amounts of time. Tributes also had to be given. These consisted of giving the lord a certain number of animals, dairy products, and the like. Transgression of these rules involved severe punishment.
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 are the five stages of the evolution of production according to Karl Marx?
Marx traced five broad stages in the evolution of production. In a brief and general summary: 1. Primitive communism: where the means of production, hunting, food gathering, were shared and owned by everyone in a small community or by a tribe; 2. Slave societies: the slave owner controls and distributes the products created by the means of production, ( the slaves ); 3. Feudal societies: here the feudal lords control the means of production, peasants either work land owned by the lord or must pay a heavy tax on all they produce. Final distribution is controlled by the lord, prince, king; 4. Capitalistic societies: the entrepreneur owns the industries and the workers live off what wages they receive; and 5. Socialistic societies: the workers through their governments own the means of production.
