Study of Factors responsible for the transition from feudalism to capitalism
Keywords:
capitalism, Working ClassAbstract
Feudalism existed in Europe from about 300 to 1400 AD, as the concept of capitalism started to take shape. It's generally believed that feudalism ended with the renaissance in Europe, a time in which there was a great revival of art, science, literature and human freedom. Although the renaissance played a key role in the transition from feudalism to capitalism, several other factors also contributed to the transition. These factors include flaws within the feudal system as well as external forces that created a long-lasting impact on the medieval societies.
