| Abstract |
This work is a case study on how, in a later medieval Castilian city, the productive systems and consumption habits were organised to take as much advantage as possible of the useful life of manufactured products and raw materials with which they had been made because of the prevailing scarcity of resources in pre-industrial economies. This no longer occurs in today's mass consumption society, where a certain trend towards wastefulness has long been imposed, against which movements advocating awareness have emerged, such as the circular economy; these, as was the norm in the medieval world, advocate renting, reusing, repairing, renovating and recycling existing materials and products as many times as possible, so as to create added value. |
