Detailed Solution

The above statement is True. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, merchants from European cities began to move into the countryside. It happened because of trade guilds, associations of producers, educated craftsmen, and artisans who barred the entry of new people into the trade. These association of producers was responsible for the training of artisans, the maintenance of control over production, the regulation of competition and prices, and the restriction of new people entering the profession. The ruling classes granted the privilege to produce and trade particular goods to several guilds. Because of this, it was challenging for new merchants to establish themselves in urban areas.
