The trade established in the Medieval West was based largely on mercantilism and not much root in capitalism. Capitalism deals with market forces determining the price of goods and is an open sector where anyone can engage in the commerce and therefore would have access to wealth.

In terms of the Medieval age....the route for wealth was restricted to the members of the Upper Class or nobility. However the roots of capitalism did emerge with more of the traders gaining access for their risk and hence the merchant class emerged. With the emergence of the merchant it became a class that was between the nobles and the peasants and hence earned the term middle class. It was a way for others to gain access to wealth and therefore brought about the change that fostered the growth of Capitalism.

That's if I remember my history lesson correct. But look into the history of mercantilism, the rise of the merchant class in medieval and renaissance Europe.

i could describe it because of the fact the Age of religion, because of the fact it grow to be an age whilst non secular faith grow to be substantial to maximum folk, and it grow to be the age whilst the magnificnet cathedrals and abbeys that are the enormous distinction of Europe have been outfitted. maximum folk's lives revolved around the church calendar, saints days have been trip trips (and there have been fairly some them) and happening pilgrimages grow to be a fave interest with human beings of all training. The medieval guilds accomplished performs consistent with thoughts from the bible and of the sainst lives that all human beings grow to be acquainted with and enjoyed. The clergymen and nuns of the medieval era produced magnificent music, beautiful manuscripts, and exciting philosophical concepts. Monasteries have been substantial places for the community community. that they had hospitals the place they tended the ill and old (and the place lots scientific study grow to be achieved), that they had faculties which knowledgeable toddlers (approximately one peasant boy in ten grew to grow to be a priest, which required the capacity to ascertain Latin), and that they gave hospitality to unfavorable travelers. clergymen and nuns wrote their very own books, and likewise copied out different writers; books by potential of hand, the only way of spreading literature in the past the discovery of the printing press. i for my section think of that the guy who made the 1st remark on your question has an exceptionally unfavorable view of the midsection a while. It grow to be by potential of no potential an age of darkness or superstition. magnificent artworks, literature and music have been produced in this era. the elementary human beings led lives that have been by potential of no potential wretched, maximum peasants had fairly mushy lives, and in fact the residing standards of the elementary human beings declined drastically in the process the so-referred to as 'Renaissance' that accompanied the medieval era. apart from, cities flourished in the process the midsection a while, and medieval human beings quite had money. Nor grow to be all human beings illiterate. many human beings ought to ascertain and write, even peasant toddlers.

Big Business as we know it didn't exist then, but there was some concept of free enterprise and private property, so this medievalist (in literature, admittedly) would say that your statement is basically true.
