Question

Why the merchants were not able to expand their production in towns?

Answer 1

Hello mate! ♥️
.
Merchants were not able to expand their production because in towns urban crafts and trade guilds were powerful . there were associations of producers who trained craftpersons and maintained production etc. they restricted the entry of new people. rulers granted monopoly right to produce and trade in specific products. thus merchants found it difficult to set their business and expand it............

i hope this is helpful to you! ⭐
