Free Market Systems
The concept of economic society in the middle Ages, and forces of change were different from region to region and from century to century. Modern market societies were beginning to manifest in the medieval cities of Italy and Holland from the tenth to seventeen's centuries to the seventeenth and into the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in some places. I will discuss what agents were powerful enough to effect changes need to bring about the free market society. First I will start with list of key concepts and termsFeudalism influential forces of change included these forces* Itinerant Merchants initiated trade, money, and the keen characteristics of feudalism life * Urbanization a by product of the Itinerant merchant slow urbanization of medieval life as for example one house hold per year.
The benefits of a market society brought about mass production, machinery, a change in traditions which make me wonder how would the world be now it smith had not brought about this change? . There are so many concept that smith contributed this era his philosophy changed the world as we now know it. cause of European economic development, also a symptom of the development that had previously taken place, and the introduction of new ideals to which the church was vigorously apposed* Unifying commerce supporting national sales* The age of exploration and of the gold from Spanish mines of Mexico and Peru* The emergence of new religious ideals sympathetic of business * Organization of set monetary dues with in the manorial system As result of these forces we see separation of economic from social life which no longer fit with the norm of religion, social, and political customs and practices, but form a distinct area of social life it self. The Market society did not happen overnight it took hundreds of years to take hold as a dominant form of society. The advent of free laborers, and landlords selling his or her services on the market for land and capital and labor which also created different classes entering the market among these new relationships was the wage labor but the owner of the product was the employer. This set the stage for the invention of economics here is a list of events the coincided with invention of economics: * Philosophy of trade this new order needed a philosophy a reasoned explanation of how things would work and not end up in a chaos* Division of labor one of the things that stood out in this passage was that an medieval regulation that only allowed one apprentice and still they manage economic growth with a steady increase in products and goodsThe Adam Smith growth model begins to explain the reasons why society of free enterprise tends to grow which can be referred to as the growth model. Invention of economics forces men to follow their self interest and no follow previous dictation from a ruler or king or as was the norm follow the foot steps of you father and forefathers. One of the fundamental of smith's concepts was that in human nature there is a desire for betterment or profit motive. Unlike the previous periods for instance labor was something done by slaves or as the word the book uses serfs to build pyramids, cathedrals that were owned by the master or king.
