Well, today we are going to talk about the society in the 17th century. As you are going to see, 00:00:00
this society is really close to the medieval society, to the society we saw in the 16th century and in the 15th and 16th century. 00:00:05
So there are going to be small changes. The first thing is 00:00:13
what we are going to see first is the differences between the regions in Europe. You are going to see that in the Atlantic Europe, 00:00:16
Atlantic Europe countries like the Netherlands or England are going to be different in their 00:00:23
evolution to the Southern Europe countries the Catholic countries so there is going to be a 00:00:30
difference between the Protestant and Catholic countries based also on the geographical areas 00:00:36
they are going to be developed okay so let's see the economy the development of the economy or the 00:00:42
developed in different ways depending on these European regions the first one is 00:00:49
the Atlantic Protestant Europe so the idea is in this Europe what we are going 00:00:53
to see is bourgeoisie is going to be strong we are going to have this 00:00:57
bourgeoisie based on trading bankers etc they are going to have money a lot of 00:01:00
money they are going to be bourgeoisie so they are unprivileged but they in 00:01:06
some of these countries the Netherlands and England sometimes they are going to 00:01:10
reach power. Remember, the society was divided in unprivileged and privileged people. These 00:01:14
privileged people, nobility and clergy and the king, they have the political power. But, 00:01:19
in the 17th century, in these countries, due to the development of the trading, the colonial 00:01:25
trading, etc., this bourgeoisie is going to get more money. So, as they have more money, 00:01:33
they are going to ask for this political power, and sometimes they are going to reach power. 00:01:39
so let's see the bourgeoisie traders prosper it means they gain more money they obtain they earn 00:01:44
more money through this craft and trade industries remember the textile industry in england and the 00:01:49
netherlands is really important so this craft and trade industries and the colonial empires i mean 00:01:55
are going to make this bourgeoisie rich so they gain political power and privileges some of them 00:02:01
exceptionally not all the bourgeoisie but in these countries only in the 00:02:08
atlantic protestant European countries okay some of the bourgeoisie some part 00:02:14
of the bourgeoisie that they are traders that they are earning a lot of money by 00:02:20
manufacture selling manufactured products and trading with this 00:02:24
manufactured products they are going to gain political power and privileges okay 00:02:30
so that's the idea okay in this Atlantic Protestant Europe a part of the world 00:02:35
you see the those that they are more powerful because of this because they 00:02:39
are selling these manufacturers and they are trading with this manufacturer 00:02:44
produce in the colonial empires they are going to gain this political power and 00:02:48
privileges okay so remember that we have these two type of companies the Eastern 00:02:53
and East India Company created by the British and this is in the company 00:02:59
created this is in Dutch of course created for the in this case from India 00:03:04
in this case for Indonesia okay so the idea is we have these two companies 00:03:09
private companies ruled by the bourgeoisie they are going to gain power 00:03:17
they are going to control part of the colony they are obtaining a lot of money 00:03:22
so that they are going to start gaining what political power and privileges some 00:03:27
of them not everyone some of them they made their countries richer of course 00:03:33
because they are trading they are obtaining money and they are investing 00:03:39
their money in their own countries but what is going to on the contrary what is 00:03:42
going to happen in Southern Catholic Europe okay what is going to happen 00:03:47
there the economy is going to barely recover barely is muy poquito 00:03:50
apenas so the economy barely recovered okay of course the nobility and clergy 00:03:55
are going to hold their positions they are going to maintain their power and wealth so the bourgeoisie 00:04:01
is not important in southern catholic europe it's not important in portugal it's not important in 00:04:06
spain it's not important in italy or greece okay it is going to be really important in europe in 00:04:11
the atlantic protestant european countries so the idea is these bourgeois traders prosper in 00:04:17
a protestant europe but not in catholic europe so that the pyramid the social pyramid is going 00:04:25
to remain in in the southern catholic europe but is going to start changing in the atlantic 00:04:31
protestant europe why because this will just see that they are going to obtain more money 00:04:37
they are going to start acquiring political and political power and privileges so what else 00:04:41
craft and trade industries were undeveloped in comparison with atlantic protestant europe 00:04:48
it means the southern catholic europe cannot be compared with the atlantic protestant europe in 00:04:53
terms of their trade industries and craft industries okay it means the manufactured 00:04:59
products the trading activity is undeveloped in comparison with this one there is going to 00:05:06
be trade industry and craft industry but uh it's going to be a few in comparison with the 00:05:12
the bourgeoisie in the atlantic protestant europe so it's going to be undeveloped in comparison with 00:05:20
these people okay so these are the the main differences between these two areas it means 00:05:25
bourgeoisie is going to prosper it's going to develop it's going to obtain political power 00:05:32
part of it not every every single bourgeois okay they are going to be rich rich countries 00:05:36
and southern catholic europe is going to start to impoverish it means they are not going to be rich 00:05:43
The economy is going to barely recover, so they are poor. 00:05:49
Nobility and clergy are going to maintain their power. 00:05:52
No bourgeoisie, okay? 00:05:55
And these activities, these activities that they have developed by the bourgeoisie 00:05:57
are not going to be developed. 00:06:01
It means, in comparison, this activity is going to be undeveloped 00:06:05
in comparison with the Protestant Europe, okay? 00:06:09
So now what we are going to see, and we finish with this, 00:06:12
with regard to the society is the the different layers of the society okay is exactly the same 00:06:15
society we found in the medieval ages with the difference that we are going to have this 00:06:23
the bourgeoisie okay we are going to have the high bourgeoisie and the petty the low bourgeoisie 00:06:29
okay so we are going to have the nobility of course the high bourgeoisie the petty bourgeoisie 00:06:35
the peasants and the beggars these are the five main layers of course inside the nobility is going 00:06:41
to be the clergy okay so the the society is going to be divided first in the nobility okay remember 00:06:48
they are privileged so they do not pay taxes and they are going to have the political and military 00:06:55
power okay so you know the nobility in the medieval ages they have these privileges they have they 00:07:02
have this political power and they keep the privileges and their power okay also they are 00:07:08
going to live in palace in palaces and they are going to obtain their rents from their lands 00:07:15
exactly the same we saw in the 15th century in the 16th century and even in the medieval ages 00:07:19
it means a nobility that is going to have the political power that is going to control the 00:07:26
military power because they are they are fighters they are knights okay they are going to they are 00:07:31
to be rich so they live in palaces and they obtain their money from their lands 00:07:37
okay the lands that they own and they are going to be worked by the peasants and also it's important 00:07:43
that the nobility are going to be privileged so they are they are not paying taxes they do 00:07:50
not pay taxes okay so that's the important part they do not pay taxes they are privileged people 00:07:55
they have money because of the rents of their lands and they are going to keep the political 00:08:01
and military power okay so the nobility is not going to change what is going to change is this 00:08:07
the high bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie please important this high bourgeoisie is only going to 00:08:12
appear in the protestant countries it means the netherlands and the uk and it's going to appear 00:08:19
only in the netherlands and the uk because they are going to develop a trading activities and 00:08:26
manufacturing activities they are going to invest money in order to increase the 00:08:32
the manufacturer production the crafts the crafts the crafts production and 00:08:36
also they are going to invest money in order to create this trading companies 00:08:42
so that they are going to start trade they are going to start acquiring and 00:08:47
obtaining a money from a these people okay so the high board you see they were 00:08:52
important traders bankers or public officials it means they are going to be 00:09:01
civil servants working for the administration they are going to be 00:09:06
bankers they are going to be traders they are going to be rich because it's 00:09:09
the high bourgeoisie okay we are going to see that in England and the 00:09:13
Netherlands this bourgeoisie is going to gain access eventually it means not 00:09:19
always not always not always eventually they gain access to political positions 00:09:23
It means, eventually, this high bourgeoisie is going to obtain part of the political power of the nobility 00:09:30
Eventually, not always 00:09:38
So the idea is, this high bourgeoisie are going to have this type of work, of jobs 00:09:41
Traders, bankers, high public officials, they are going to have a lot of money 00:09:47
And in England and the Netherlands, this bourgeoisie, eventually, sometimes, they gain access to political positions 00:09:51
And they pay taxes of course because they are unprivileged 00:09:59
So remember, privileged people, unprivileged people 00:10:02
So all these people pay taxes 00:10:07
All these people do not have political power 00:10:09
Except sometimes for this high bourgeoisie in England and the Netherlands 00:10:12
That as they are really rich because of their traders and bankers 00:10:17
They are going to gain access to these political positions 00:10:22
okay let's see that we are we are talking about this high bourgeoisie that is here so now we are 00:10:27
going to talk about the petty bourgeoisie okay we are talking about artisans merchants etc so 00:10:33
artisans is small-scale traders and lovers okay so people that they work when we talk about the 00:10:39
petty bourgeoisie the low bourgeoisie petty means a Baja noblesse a Baja bourgeoisie perdon o pequeña 00:10:46
So, the idea is they were artisans, they are going to work in the cities, but they are 00:10:53
going to be working, they are not going to earn that much money in comparison with the 00:11:02
hard burguesy. 00:11:10
So, these petty burguesy are not going to earn that much money, they are going to be 00:11:11
artisans, small scale traders and laborers, they live in the cities and they are going 00:11:16
to work in the cities and of course they pay taxes and they were badly affected by the crisis 00:11:22
it means the high bourgeoisie is not going to be that much affected by the economic crisis by the 00:11:27
agricultural and demographic crisis because they have a lot of money and they are obtaining some 00:11:33
of them political positions political power but this petty bourgeoisie that is the bourgeoisie 00:11:39
that is a poorer in comparison with the high bourgeoisie is not poor they are poorer it means 00:11:45
they have less money than the high bourgeoisie but they are not poor they have more money much 00:11:52
more money than the peasants and the beggars of course so this petty bourgeoisie is going to be 00:11:58
affected by the crisis they pay taxes as the high bourgeoisie do and this petty bourgeoisie are 00:12:03
to be artisans small-scale traders etc it means people that they are not going to earn that much 00:12:11
money in comparison with the high bourgeoisie okay the peasants vast majority of the population 00:12:16
most of the population are present around 80 percent okay and of course they are going to be 00:12:23
vulnerable vulnerable vulnerable during the agricultural crisis it means they have no money 00:12:30
they live out of the the agriculture so if there are bad harvest or they they cannot produce that 00:12:37
much they are going to be really affected by this agricultural crisis they were poor of course and 00:12:45
they pay taxes so remember unprivileged people privileged people privileged people do not pay 00:12:51
taxes they have the political power and they live in palace in palaces however you see they are rich 00:12:57
They pay taxes, they are not privileged, but, eventually, sometimes, these people with that 00:13:03
much money, in England and the Netherlands, they gain access to political positions. 00:13:10
Sometimes. 00:13:17
While the petty bourgeoisie, they have less money, they are artisans, they are small-scale 00:13:18
traders, and they are going to be affected by the crisis and pay taxes. 00:13:25
The peasants, vast majority of the population, they are poor and they pay taxes, ok? 00:13:30
They are going to be vulnerable during the agricultural crisis because of that, it means 00:13:35
because this agricultural crisis is going to make them, is going to make them die, ok? 00:13:40
Because they live out of the agriculture, so if there is an agricultural crisis they 00:13:49
are going to produce less, they are not going to have food to eat, so they are going to 00:13:53
die. 00:13:58
In comparison with these people, okay that they have more money 00:13:59
Finally the beggars, okay increase in numbers and live in the cities, los mendigos 00:14:04
That's the translation so people that they are going to live in the cities 00:14:09
Due to the crisis during the 17th century their number is going to increase 00:14:14
Okay, so they are going to increase in number due to this crisis, the agricultural crisis, the demographic crisis and economic crisis in general 00:14:18
So in the 17th century we have more beggars, they live in cities, and they are going to 00:14:26
depend on this, on charity, in order to survive. 00:14:32
Depends on the money that the nobility, the high bourgeoisie are going to give to these 00:14:35
people if they want to survive, or the clergy. 00:14:38
So this is the society, the society divided in these five layers, privilege and privileged 00:14:43
people you can see it here okay privilege nobility and clergy and privilege high bourgeoisie petty 00:14:49
bourgeoisie peasants and beggars remember the high bourgeoisie in england and the netherlands they 00:14:57
could eventually gain political power okay not always they pay taxes as all the unprivileged 00:15:01
people and they are traders and markets but they are rich that's important they are rich 00:15:09
the petty bourgeoisie is not going to be rich but they are going to have money they are going to be 00:15:13
artisans small-scale traders okay and they pay taxes however the the economic 00:15:18
crisis are going to affect this petit bourgeoisie more than the high bourgeoisie 00:15:25
finally the peasants and the vegas the peasants are the vast majority of the 00:15:31
population they are poor and they pay taxes also they are going to be highly 00:15:35
vulnerable to the agricultural crisis of course because they depend on 00:15:40
agriculture in order to survive. And the vegas they increase in number during this economic 00:15:46
crisis in the 17th century they are going to live in cities but if they want to survive they need 00:15:51
charity they are going to survive due to charity. So in the next video we will talk about the 00:15:56
political system in the 17th century. 00:16:03
