Excerpt from The Economic Journal, 1897, Vol. 7: The Journal of the British Economic Association IN the middle ages the organisation of rural economy was everywhere as follows - the land was held partly by the lord partly by the peasant.

These were won from the soil with the aid of the peasant liegemen, their cattle and their tools, as their lord directed through his steward. The personal dependents of the chief, and subsequently a number of day labourers, were also expected to contribute their work to the tillage of his estate. It was the further duty of the peasant to take all produce to the market, where it was sold under direction of the steward for the benefit of the landlord.
