Explore the economic expansion of late 16th and early 17th century England in this 51-minute lecture from Yale University's course on Early Modern England. Examine population growth, agricultural improvements, urban development, industrial changes, and trade expansion. Analyze the impact of rising population on agricultural and industrial output, including the extension of cultivated areas, enclosure trends, and the growth of traditional and new industries. Investigate the intensification of internal commerce and foreign trade, while considering the persistent issues of rising prices, depressed real wages, and growing poverty despite overall economic growth.
