  22. Trade in Europe • Europe’s growing population needed goods that were not available to them. • As foreign invasions and feudal warfare declined, trade increased

  23. Commercial Revolution • The revival of trade led to a revolution in commerce. • As trade revived, merchants needed money to buy goods. The reintroduction of money led European merchants to develop new business practices, such as: • setting up banks • joining together to set up partnerships • developing insurance • adopting the bill of exchange

  24. Social Changes • The commercial revolution not only transformed the medieval economy, it also reshaped medieval society. • The use of money undermined serfdom. Most peasants became tenant farmers or hired farm laborers. • In towns, a new middle class of merchants, traders, and artisans emerged. • The Church forbade Christians from becoming moneylenders. Since Jews were barred from other professions, many took on this role.

  25. Guilds • In medieval towns, merchants and artisans formed associations called guilds. • Merchant guilds appeared first. They dominated town life, passing laws, levying taxes, and making other important decisions. • A craft guild was made up of workers in a particular occupation. To prevent competition, only a certain number of people could work in any trade. • Becoming a guild member involved many years of hard work.
