The guilds were the power brokers that defined the cities, at least in Europe guilds defined city policy not the other way around.

That guilds were powerful and could corrupt city leadership has nothing to do with my comments.

And artisan guilds predate medieval europe by thousands of years.

The guilds and later trading families were the city leadership.

In the city I was born which was founded around 2000 years ago and got it's first major in the 14th century, most of the majors back then there were guild masters (the city only later become a trading point).

The city I currently live in got it's first major in the 13th century who was also a guild master.
