BEFORE 1800, JUST ABOUT EVERYBODY WAS POOR. YOU HAD ROYALTY, YOU HAD THESE HUGE LANDOWNERS, BUT THEY WERE A TINY TINY MINORITY AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE LIVED IN POVERTY. AND EVERYONE LIVED VERY MUCH WEDDED TO THEIR LAND. THIS WAS THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF HUMANITY. THERE WERE SOME HUGE CHANGES, OF COURSE: AGRICULTURE. AND THEN, WHEN AGRICULTURE STARTED, FOOD PRODUCTION WAS THEN BROUGHT TO PEOPLE RATHER THAN VICE VERSA. PEOPLE DID'T GO OUT LOOKING FOR FOOD.THERE WERE PLACES WHERE YOU KNEW THAT A STEADY SUPPLY OF FOOD WOULD BE CREATED.
BUT WEALTH WAS TIED TO LAND, AND THOSE WHO CONTROLLED LAND, CONTROLLED MUCH OF THE WORLD'S WEALTH. AND THE DIFFICULTY WAS IN SHIPPING OR MOVING ANYTHING: THINGS, IDEAS, PEOPLE. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE ANYTHING SO THERE WASN'T VERY MUCH TRADE. AND SO, THE COST OF MOVING THINGS REALLY MATTERED AND SHAPED THE WAY OF SOCIETIES.
