Overall the class system is like the feudal system below. Get rid of your king and knights and insert your bankers and merchants, and voila, you have the renaissance class system. However, unlike the feudal system where most people were in the peasant stage, most people during the renaissance were in the middle class, which were the merchants, and the people who offered services.
