“PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, Europe was under a feudalistic social system, closely related to the prevalent economic system of manorialism. Peasants worked for noble landlords in exchange for protection and use of land. A majority of these peasants were serfs, bound to isolated manorial estates and obliged to their landlords. Consequently, there was a disparity between social classes: the rich were exceedingly rich and the poor were exceedingly poor.”
