feudalism
-
Three primary elements characterized feudalism: lords, vassals and fiefs; the structure of feudalism can be seen in how these three elements fit together. A lord was a noble who owned land, a vassal was a person who was granted possession of the land by the lord, and the land was known as a fief. In exchange for the fief, the vassal would provide military service to the lord. The obligations and relations between lord, vassal and fief form the basis of feudalism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudal_system

Compare this question to Diamond's question. Here the question is, "why are some able to constrain the options of others" whereas Diamond's question was more like, "why are some so rich and others so poor." Just by rephrasing the question, Wolf is calling into question 2 things Diamond never considers: Power and Relationships with others.
