Description

The Wheels Of Commerce by Fernand Braudel

In the present book he turns his attention to the markets and exchanges that, from the start, have been the real motors of change. Pedlars, merchants, fairs, market-stalls, the first stock-exchanges, provide the human and economic subject matter. As always Braudel apprehends them in their totally and sees them in motion. Means of travel and communication, style of life and social mores, financial devices and expedients, all of these are touched into life and brought before our eyes with that marvellous actuality that can only come from imaginative power…
