How Did the Medieval Economy Really Work? Chris Wickham Explains
Historian Chris Wickham, a leading scholar of the early Middle Ages, is explaining how the medieval economy actually functioned, challenging popular assumptions about a purely agrarian, backward system. His discussion covers trade, labour, money and the structures that shaped economic life across medieval Europe, drawing on decades of research into how ordinary people produced and exchanged goods.
Why now: Interest in economic history has grown as people draw comparisons between medieval economic upheaval and modern debates about trade and inequality.
