What factor, besides the plague, delayed the renaissance in northern europe?

lack of patrons

lack of economic growth due to feudalism

lack of gifted artists and scholars

lack of interest in learning

The correct answer is B) lack of economic growth due to feudalism.

Explanation:

Contrary to what happened in Italy, which was composed of independent small city-states and favoured trade, while in the rest of Europe feudalism was still in decline and power was more centralized. This fact, besides the plague, caused the Renaissance to arrive later in Northern Europe.

for starters, there is the structural trend of rising primary government expenditure as a share of gdp, which reached 36% in 2014, up from 22% in 1991. this increase reflected a political desire to address the poverty and inequality that had gone unaddressed during previous decades. to support the increase, brazil’s government increased taxes on consumption and promoted progress toward labor-market formalization. nonetheless, public investment, particularly in infrastructure, took a hit. in fact, with the exception of the 2005-2008 period, total investment as a share of gdp has remained below 20% since 1991.
