- Prior to the enclosures, land was held in common for public use, not owned by individuals.
- The rise of capitalism also occurred during this time.
- Adam Smith wrote his landmark book, The Wealth of Nations, in 1776.
- Land was privatized so the most efficient use of land could be determined
- by market competition rather than
- community consensus.
- Labor then also had to be “commodified,” or bought and sold,
- so non-farmers could work for wages and buy food and the other necessities of life they had been getting from the land.
