In a feudal society the economy is based on agriculture. Most of the people lived isolated in the country where they were working most of the day. The control over such a society was often in the hands of a small group, the landlords. The farmers were working and living in a region owned by a landlord. In exchange for their labor the farmers obtained shelter, a small part of the profit and protection. In a feudal society people do not take active part in society. This does not encourage the development of the human spirit.
