    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Production, consumption, and profit have helped to define individuals in more recent eras; however, an &quot;economy of need&quot; was an aspect of late medieval identity. Galloway traces the economy of need in sermons and prose writing and comments on its presence in works of Gower, Langland, and Chaucer. Chaucer explores &quot;what we might call psychological and psycho-social dimensions&quot; of the economy of need in TC, PardT, and ClT.]]></dcterms:description>
