No poor?

Where are you kidding? We all were!

In the Middle Ages, 99% of humanity had a life of misery and toil! The 1% were the nobles by divine right ... and rare traders who managed to do well!

A poor man in our society has access to better comfort than a noble from the Middle Ages ... provided he has a roof!

The middle made his nickname lie by an excessive simplification!
What he wanted to express, it seems to me, is that the first phase of the industrial revolution resulted in an explosion of pauperism.

As for the "life of misery and toil" of Christophe, it is no more in line with reality: a good part of the working population lived in fairly comfortable conditions (not comparable to ours, of course) and worked rather moderately (very many non-working holidays); even the peasants, generally less well off (to be adjusted according to the status), were less used in winter.

A poor man in our society has access to better comfort than a noble from the Middle Ages ... provided he has a roof!

As the nobleman felt rich, is it therefore that there is degradation? : Lol:

Ok econololo, as it is clear is clear!

The remark was not useless: 5 or 7% of inflation it still hates a good part of the 12 to 13% of wage growth!

Then you have to see how this price index is established: if it's like in France by not taking into account real estate prices ... So when we are at 7% price inflation, the real evolution of the price of life certainly exceeds or feels the 12% ...

It's everything I wanted to say!
