The direct cause was the long war with Sweden, particullary the invasion of Swedish army which blockaded the Commonwealth’s main ports and disrupted the grain trade, country’s main source of incomes. Yet, as always, the true reasons for the crisis were deeper. The Commonwealth’s grain-focused economy was unable to reform itself and introduce more developed forms of production and trade. The crisis resulted in hiperinflation, pauperization of lesser nobility, strengthening of serfdom and deterioration of cities. However it was not enough, and Commonwealth was struck with lesser economical crackdowns many times in upcoming decades. Many tend to forget that it was the economy, not the political turmoil that eventually led to the downfall of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth."
