Really cool to see Jordan describing how the medieval economy worked! He covers interesting questions like: What is a peasant? How market oriented were medieval people? And what role did horses play in the medieval economy?

It was a great honor to present my work to this amazing group of economic historians!

In this paper, Maarten Goos and I argue that 19th-century steam technology had drastic consequences for labor market competition!
Stay tuned for the working paper!

Thanks @jordanclaridge.bsky.social
