Abstract

The bubonic and pneumonic plagues that terrorized Europe in 1348, and again at irregular intervals in the succeeding century, had a devastating effect on Europe’s human capital. Though the exact numbers of deaths will never be known, it is now estimated that about 40 percent of Europe’s population died. In comparison, the memorable widespread health disaster of the twentieth century, the influenza epidemic of 1918-1919, killed about 0.5 percent of the U.S. population.
