My questions are if during this time the economic systems were feudal or guild base or something else?<br /><br />The feudal system included a responsibility for the feudal lord to keep all the serfs with work and food. In such a system it's really hard to get work surplus. The same goes for a guild system, where the guilds make sure that all tradesmen have enough work. There is no proper competition.<br /><br />As far as I can see, to have an industrial revolution you must get rid both of feudal lords and guilds and tight market controls.<br /><br />But I am way out of my depth here. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058766287077382431.post-1925402065000950092009-10-07T19:33:52.226-04:002009-10-07T19:33:52.226-04:00Could it have to do with social stratification, th...Could it have to do with social stratification, that whatever the so-called scientists of the time were doing, they were not interested in agriculture sufficiently to create significant improvements, like in machinery, etc. This gets back to the Confucian issues, perhaps. Actually, similar issues remain today, where rural China is starkly poor, backward and inefficient.Burkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158223475895530397noreply@blogger.com
