Why would the poor not benefit as much as nobles from changes of the Renaissance?

Answer 1

Because it was the flowering of intellectual life in Europe. The poor were too concerned with getting enough food to give much time to silly things like trying to immitate the Greeks.

However, the Renaissance did lead to new thoughts in general, as well as new professions, which eventually did benefit the poor. If it wasn't for the Printing Press (the spark that started the Renaissance), revolutions in agriculture would have never happened (or taken centuries more to have spread).

Answer 2

The Renaissance was a "rebirth" of thought in art and literature more so than a significant change in government structures which hugely favored the privileged, wealthy elites who made up less than 2% of the population. The middle class and skilled workers would not win a significant voice in European governments until the French Revolution of 1789 and then the "Year of Revolutions" in 1848 - well after the Renaissance.

Answer 3

do you think the poor benefits now from the current governments or the rich? have we evolved to the perfect society where poor people never stave to death?

after every cold snap, that's when they announce their drop in the poverty line. not from better laws,but from mass deaths.
