• Resumen

  • After a few centuries of Commercial Revolution during the Mediaeval Warm Period, the Mediterranean experienced a triple shock at the beginning of the fourteenth century: bad harvests, generalized war and virulent outbreaks of plague. Their combined effect reduced the population, agricultural and industrial production, trade, land rent and tax income, and increased agricultural yields, wages, debt and distribution conflicts.
