Concordat and Wealth Disparities in Europe
This chapter explores the correlation between the signing of the Concordat, division of wealth, and economic development in Europe. It discusses how certain regions with closer ties to Rome and the signing of the Concordat ended up wealthier, while others remained poorer. The impact of the plague and the alternative hypothesis of the commercial revolution on Europe's wealth are also discussed.
