The peasants and serfs worked on the land in turn for protection. We also gave loyalty and obedience.

Asc cities grow so does peopulation. Attracting many people with different skills. Each with their own means of accumulating wealth.
Each person is independant and wealth becomes the measure of social status. Survival depends on being able to practise a skill or your skill as a trader.

The growth of the middle class led to the study and furthering of skills, arts and trades.
That allowed our education to develop so everyone can do what they like, and have it not be determined by birth.
