Unveiling the historical tapestry of serfdom, Miller skillfully navigates through the annals of time to provide a rich understanding of the roots that have shaped our modern world.

From the burdensome taxation that weighed heavily on the shoulders of serfs to the echoes of this financial struggle in today's societies, the book masterfully explores the enduring impact of economic structures. As you traverse the chapters, the narrative seamlessly transitions into an exploration of mobility, contrasting the limitations faced by individuals in medieval times with the complexities of modern movement.
