Describe as best you can which did the most to bring the dark ages to an end and restore the world to civilization and progress: was it faith or business?

Business

Explanation:

As with many civilizations it goes through different stages and social norms. The Middle Ages was just a phase in history as are many others. While there were many reasons for the shifting of the Middle Ages on to the Renaissance, the most poignant of that was money.  During this time, the feudal system, which was the reception of land for services was on the decline. In this same time the Church declined and this gave way for the merchants to take power that was available. This influx of money created a new and refreshing class of people called the Middle class ending the dark ages.
