Economics of the Black Death
|
The Black Death brought on a general European inflation. High mortality produced a fall in production, shortages of labor and workers’ demands for higher wages put guild masters on the defense. They retaliated with measures such as the Statute of Laborers (1351) (unsuccessful). The price of what in most of Europe increased, as did the costs of meat, sausage, and cheese. This inflation continued to the end of the 14th century. Wages in the towns rose fasters increase in per capita wealth. The greater demand for labor meant greater mobility for peasants in rural areas, and the broad mass of people enjoyed a higher standard of living. Population decline meant a sharp and for industrial workers in the towns and cities.
