Where “feudalism” refers to a specific form of society and not just “that time period”
this makes sense to me. stuff like the East India Company
why do I sometimes hear things like “feudalism laid the groundwork for capitalism”?
It laid the groundwork for mercantilism which made way for capitalism. But there were other factors at play as well. History doesnt progress in a linear fashion along any sort of tech tree.
