Why Feudalism Was Recession-Proof

How did people survive the worst economic collapse in history? Forget the Great Depression—during the 14th century, famine, plague, and war wiped out up to 60% of Europe's population. Yet somehow, medieval people endured. In this video, we explore how the medieval economy made itself recession-proof, and what we can learn from the moral economy of the Middle Ages in today’s unstable world. We’ll break down how medieval villagers navigated recession with cooperation, communal labor, and religious charity—lessons that feel eerily relevant in 2025. From price caps during famine to flagellants whipping themselves in plague-ridden cities, this is a survival story we all need to hear. Whether you're worried about inflation, recession, or the housing market, this video shows why medieval people may have handled economic instability better than we do.
