Warm-up
Compare and contrast the advent of specialized
labor in Europe during the Middle Ages with any
other culture we have studied.
Warm-Up Answer
Europe went through a chaotic period after the collapse of the
Roman Empire. However, the early medieval period resulted in
economic and social change caused by improved farming
technologies. The plow, water mills, horseshoes, and the horse
collar all allowed for faster cultivation of land and a surplus of
goods. Similar to Europe, Persia’s qanats helped bring fresh water
to crops causing a surplus of goods. Europe and Persia developed
specialization of labor similarly through an increase in food
causing a population increase. As population increased so did long
distance trade and a need for merchants, maritime traders, and
missionaries. However, in Persia a high demand for a large
bureaucracy at the top of society was needed to act as tax
collectors and record keepers. Free classes and slaves formed the
bulk of Persian society limiting specialized labor tasks. Whereas in
Europe there was no centralized authority and most power was
given to heads of the church. Specialized labor tasks were given to
three classes of people- those who prayed, those who fought, and
those who labored.
