"standard of living" is not defined only by having a smartphone and a microwave.

There are many critical aspects that were very often better for the average 1400s peasant than a 1900s industrial worker or even many people as today:

- sense of community: super tight-knit for many 1400s farmers

- ...of belonging to a place

- ...of purpose

- job safety!

- food safety
