Determinants of Economic Standing Across History
An economic historian compares two hypothetical individuals: Person A, a peasant living in 11th-century Persia, and Person B, a merchant living in 11th-century France.

The historian then compares Person C, a software engineer in modern-day Nigeria, with Person D, a software engineer in modern-day Norway. Which statement best analyzes the fundamental shift in the nature of global inequality between these two eras?
