À propos de cet audio
Alex Calder explores how the bubonic plague pandemic of the 14th century transformed European society by killing 30-60% of the population in just four years. The episode reveals how this demographic catastrophe created a labor shortage that gave surviving peasants unprecedented economic leverage, undermining feudalism's rigid social hierarchy. Alex examines how the Catholic Church's failure to explain or prevent the pandemic weakened religious authority, while the trauma of mass death reshaped artistic expression, urban planning, and attitudes toward mortality. Drawing connections to our experiences with COVID-19, the episode demonstrates how this medieval catastrophe accelerated technological innovation, educational reform, and social mobility while revealing both medieval society's fragility and its surprising adaptability in the face of biological disaster.
