Middle Ages versus Renaissance

Renaissance was the beginning of banking and merchant-oligarchic materialistic society. The exterior explendor of its art is to make up for the internal (spiritual) vacuity which was imperceptible a first but reached a climax in our contemporary society. Evola said wherever purely materialistic and merchantile values are prevalent, the Jew will have his way. And we're seeing the results thereof.

I do love some Renaissance music though.

You do see some bollocks on this board.

The Renaissance didn't occur outside Italy and the Low Countries (they weren't called that at the time but you understand), so for most of Europe, 1300-1550 was just an extension of the Middle Ages with some bonus plagues nation-building.

>Was Europe really better off during the Renaissance than in the Middle Ages?

Definately better off than during the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages, i.e. 14th-15th century.

Definately worse off than during the 13th century, which was likely the most prosperous century before the Enlightenment Era.
