I'll dig into the history of leisure in the medieval period.
In the mean time, though... consider. If you earned the same amount as you do now, but only worked 150 days a year (and even then, only maybe 4-6 hours per day), what would you do with your free time?
- kemotep 3y agoI would have a lot more free time? I don’t understand the question. If I didn’t work at all but lived off of passive income due to an inheritance or investments, I would have even more free time. I could probably live to the same standards of living as a medieval peasant working only 90 (potentially less) days a year for a significant pay cut of what I make currently. A wood stove, no electricity or running water, an outhouse, etc. the tent I could afford today to camp in would be luxurious compared to a peasant’s home.
