Enclosing the Peasants

Luke and Eleanor are back to continue the series of the peasantry and this time it's all about the process known as Enclosure and how it fundamentally altered property ownership forever by alienating the people from the land they lived and worked upon and accumulating even more capital in the hands of the elites. also, we talk about the Green Knight trailer, fun! here's a link to what land looked like under the Open Field System, before Enclosure started. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enclosure#/media/File:Three_Field_System.svgUpdate 2, 3/27/23: The issue has been resolved after an older recording was found. Thanks to our patron Adam for the assistUpdate 1, 3/26/23: Please note that we recently discovered that this episode (Enclosing the Peasants) is actually a duplicate of the previous episode (The Peasantry). The files must have gotten swapped or wrongly uploaded by mistake at some point in the last 2 years. We apologize for this but it seems to be lost to time since the master files for early episodes were all lost during a hard drive crash in late 2021 and we didn't discover this until we had migrated the episodes to Spreaker. Hopefully we can scrounge up an old file somewhere but until then, sorry.
