The open-field system of agriculture dominated most of Europe during medieval times and endured until the nineteenth century in many areas. Under this system, peasants lived on a manor presided over by a lord or a bishop of the church. Peasants paid rent or labor services to the lord in exchange for their right to cultivate the land. Fallowed land, pastures, forests, and wasteland were held in common. The open field system required cooperation among the peasants of the manor. It was gradually replaced by individual ownership and management of land.

The relative position of peasants in Western Europe improved greatly after the Black Death had reduced the population of medieval Europe in the mid-14th century, resulting in more land for the survivors and making labor more scarce. In the wake of this disruption to the established order, it became more productive for many laborers to demand wages and other alternative forms of compensation, which ultimately led to the development of widespread literacy and the enormous social and intellectual changes of the Enlightenment.

The evolution of ideas in an environment of relatively widespread literacy laid the groundwork for the Industrial Revolution, which enabled mechanically and chemically augmented agricultural production while simultaneously increasing the demand for factory workers in cities, who became what Karl Marx called the proletariat. The trend toward individual ownership of land, typified in England by Enclosure, displaced many peasants from the land and compelled them, often unwillingly, to become urban factory-workers, who came to occupy the socio-economic stratum formerly the preserve of the medieval peasants.

In this way of farming, each village had two or three large fields, which were divided into many strips of land. This was used in most of Europe during medieval times up until about 150 years ago. In this way, the people who lived in the county, instead of big cities, were watched over by people in charge like a person from the catholic church. The people who lived in the country paid to live on the land and use it to grow food.  Land was shared by everyone and this meant that everyone had to get along. Finally, people were allowed to have land that belonged to themselves without others watching over them.

Things got better for the people who lived the country instead of the cities in Western Europe after many people died in what was called, the Black Death, which killed off many people, freed up more land, and made workers more difficult to find. Because it was hard to find workers, the workers who were left after the Black Death could say that they wouldn't work unless they got money. Besides getting paid people began to be able to read. This made people smart and they were able to live better.

Many new ideas started going around when people began to read. This led to people making things like machines and factories. This changed the way that food was grown and caused there to be a need for people to work in the cities where the factories were built. When people had the chance to have land that they owned themselves, some weren't able to get any and then they had to go to the big cities to work in factories. Sometimes they didn't want to but they had to. The workers who used to work in the country on the land became the workers who worked in cities in the factories.
