As soon as the plague hit there wasnt much demand for items so prices dropped, but after the plague really took affect prices raised because of fewer workers. Fewer workers meant less land could farmed, production of goods went down, and human services were more valuable. Sense human services were more valuable people took the chance to make some money quick. The rich complained about the social classes changing around. they tried to end it by pointing out laws like the "Statute of Laborers." The laws stopped social classes from changing. The poor still obtained money though, either from inheritance or social advancement.The last big outbreak of the plague was in 1351. The end of the Black Death doesn't mean the end of the plague. Plagues still occurs randomly throughout time and in different locations. This uncured and dangerous sickness will probably always haunt our planet as one of the most deadly diseases mankind has ever seen.
