How did the rise of trade in Western Europe affect labor specialization?
What will be an ideal response?
With the revival of town and trade came more merchant opportunities, particularly in conjunction with the increased surplus of agriculture. New economic opportunities abounded in textiles, luxury goods, and personal items. The growth of towns meant increased construction of buildings, roads, and bridges. Specialization of labor, both artisanal and general, occurred in towns and cities and saw the formation of guilds to regulate trade and production. Guilds for skilled work set guidelines for pay, standards of work, and representation to municipal authorities, and established apprenticeships to ensure appropriate standards of training as well as limitation of membership. In some cities, guilds effectively became municipal governments as trade decisions dominated politics, alliances, and urban planning.
