This can hardly be called a societal collapse, since some social groups or parts of society showed signs of resilience and adaptation that are masked by the often grand-scale political changes.Footnote 116 Overall, then, we should make it clear that societal collapse was the exception rather than the rule throughout history and even some of the so-called classic collapses may be conceived of more as transitions and adaptations rather than as the destruction of all social, economic, and political structures. /CropBox [0 0 430.866 646.299] They are unable to acquire resources needed before and after a disaster strikes. Second, it might also be said that much of this focus on the redistribution of wealth, property, and income after epidemics and wars has tended to obscure other elements of (in)equality. 15 For example in the Beauvais region in early-modern France: Goubert, Beauvais et le Beauvaisis, 7980. >> For example, a large body of literature has tended to suggest that the Black Death of 134752 had positive economic effects, mainly through channels of redistribution described below: a destruction of labor, but keeping capital intact, and therefore improving the lives of the survivors who saw real wages rise and elements of extra-economic coercion subside.Footnote 120 Indeed, some scholars have suggested that the places where the mortality effect of the Black Death was harshest eventually experienced the most favorable long-term economic trajectories.Footnote 121 Yet we also have to ask ourselves to what extent these favorable redistributive outcomes were negated by elements of aggregate contraction: smaller economies with fewer vacancies and more insular and contracted patterns of trade.Footnote 122, The problem with coming to a coherent answer on the long-term economic effects of epidemics is that, quite simply, these diseases often meant different things to different people. For example, in sixteenth-century Italy, mountain communities showed lower mortality rates and recovered more quickly than the lowlands, despite the harsh environmental conditions, due to their lower population densities, isolated location, and diversified production methods.Footnote 14 In general, highly specialized regions, especially those focused on grain production, were more likely to witness high mortality rates than regions that diversified their economic activities and grew different crops.Footnote 15, Famines can kill men and women, young and old, at different rates.

A number of factors contributed to this culture in which risks were downplayed. In the nineteenth-century Zulu kingdom, for example, severe and protracted drought events were often linked with different forms of social unrest by way of the apportionment of blame by the Zulu leadership.Footnote 92 In the early nineteenth century, rainmakers special doctors who attempted to influence supernatural forces through the manipulation of rain medicines were called upon to bring rain in times of drought; however, when this failed during a protracted drought in the 1820s, rainmakers across the region were killed and Shaka, the Zulu ruler, appropriated control of rainmaking rituals to strengthen his position as a link to ancestral spirits. >> But sometimes the impact of a disaster was more lasting, resulting in a full-blown economic depression lasting for decades or even a century. /F2 51 0 R /F2 51 0 R >> >> endobj 14 Alfani, Calamities and the Economy, 136168. /F1 50 0 R 61 Alexander, The Study of Natural Disasters, 285. /ModDate (D:20220415062508+00'00') /F6 54 0 R /Cs6 [/ICCBased 56 0 R] /F5 53 0 R << See also Section 2.2. /XObject << Since floods cause massive damage to lives and the economic well-being of an region, it takes a lot of time for people to live a ordinary life again.

Financial buffers ensured that the wealthy could ride out periods when food prices went high, and thus were not forced to sell goods or even land like the poor.Footnote 174 However, socio-institutional factors could also conspire to limit this move towards social polarization in times of food crises. Furthermore, high epidemic mortality led to cases where elderly adults had nobody to pass their property on to, creating families unable to maintain or consolidate estates for more than one generation.Footnote 157 In turn, many post-Black Death societies became less unequal with improved living standards for ordinary survivors.Footnote 158.
