I think it is, however, worth to clarify that although the middle class had more opportunity to prosper and enjoyed the higher standard of life than those who proceded them, the lives of peasants regressed due to the steady inflation. Especially, in Easter Europe, the middle class only consisted of small portion of the population, and majority of peasants were under the hereditory serfdom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940475386241677098.post-18884744565781202762008-11-02T20:21:00.000-05:002008-11-02T20:21:00.000-05:00Lena, the middle class improved...they enjoyed mor...Lena, the middle class improved...they enjoyed more small luxuries than the middle class previously had.

The 18th century did offer class transformation; the poor boy (though rarely) could become a member of the bourgeoisie were he lucky enough to go to school. But this was uncommon as antedictated (I made that word up). "Weather" you like it or not there were still major masses that were mostly impoverished.Cote Laramiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765812635024603492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940475386241677098.post-88197298510419592972008-11-01T18:20:00.000-04:002008-11-01T18:20:00.000-04:00So Path tell me please could what where Thea's cou...So Path tell me please could what where Thea's countries doing to make life such a good time to live in. i think Thea's countries was had they're ups and dowens and and there downs to.Cote Laramiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765812635024603492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-940475386241677098.post-13796044121271081042008-11-01T15:20:00.000-04:002008-11-01T15:20:00.000-04:00Didn't the development of the middle class happen ...Didn't the development of the middle class happen back in the 15 and 16 hundreds?
