If the Economic History of Europe is for a class, I'll summarize the Middle Ages for you.
- Serfs=poor
- Landowners=Rich
There ya go! Oh, if you need filler, you can insert "It was a two tiered economic system"

It's for my thesis.
Actually, I like topics like trades and trade routes. I am happy to avoid to discuss about economy, especially theory kind of things, but trade, particularly in the late 15th to the end of the 16th century, is interesting.

LMAO!!! I was asking Georgi - are you suggesting I should flirt with Georgi?
*Viv had not thought of that, Viv now thinks of clever and distracting come back.*
Let's see...first of all, it was a suggestion to practice. If Georgi was there, I'm sure she'd understand Plus, are you a DarkFlame, or a DarkFlame! *isn't even sure what that means*

Yes! I find that trade is one of the unsung major factors contributing to "event style" history. So few people realize that all the posturings of nations going to war for territorial reasons were actually due to wishes to corner a particular production market, or to secure a free, safe outpost for the longrange transfer of goods? Trade tells us so much about various peoples.

Viv turns red as she says: "Yes, and I still say, I am not NOW, nor was I ever WEASEL!"
