#ACOUP on what percentage of the time medieval peasant women had to work. #economics #history
on 02026-03-21#ACOUP provides strong arguments that in #history peasants worked 2500 to 3000 hours per year, much more than many people do today. Also #agriculture has changed fundamentally: “As a rule, farming yields in the pre-modern are discussed not in terms of productivity per-land-area but rather in seed yields: for a given dry measure of seeds planted, how many of the same dry measure of seeds (because those are the tasty, edible parts of these plants) do you get back? So they are expressed in figures like 4:1 which means for every one modius/dry liter/bushel sown, four are harvested.” #economics
