    At least in Europe, serfdom did limit movement of the lower class a lot in huge parts of the continent. Not all of it, but a lot.

      That’s an angle I haven’t considered. I looked it up, and in my country, then a part of the Habsburg monarchy, the limit on serfs’ movement was abolished in 1785.
