The myth of the dark, medieval times vs. the golden age of the bracteate economy

in stonertv •  5 years ago 


Often, we modern people speak of the medieval times in an airy way. The era is a synonym for superstition, poverty, harsh and dirty living conditions.
But already a glimpse on the buildings and monuments of the time makes one challenge this prejudice. The beauty and sublimity of gothic cathredrals tell a different story. And then there's numerous civic constructions like rich town-halls, bridges or wells, etc.
At close review, we discover a 300-year-long booming growth in trade, architecture, handcraft and culture.
The engine of this unprecedented growth might be found in the economic system of the era, which followed the female principle. The so called Renovatio Monetarum, the renewal of the money, is de facto a negative interest rate, and brought people to let their money flow in circulation, instead of stock-piling a treasure.
Is there really no alternative to our current money system, as they always say?
A fresh, though maybe a little romatic, view on the gothic man an his unrecognized epoch.
