The book explores the evolution of commerce from ancient times through the medieval period and into the modern age, examining various factors that influenced trade and economic development in different cultures. With a scholarly approach, it delves into the complexities of commerce, including its purposes, the obstacles faced by merchants, and the intertwining of commerce with politics, finance, and culture across different eras. At the start of the work, Day establishes the framework for understanding commerce by discussing its fundamental purposes and the challenges that have historically hindered its growth. He highlights commerce as essential for maintaining societal needs, asserting that it facilitates the distribution of goods produced by farmers and manufacturers. Day outlines several types of obstacles—personal, physical, military, and political—that have affected trade throughout history. This opening portion sets the stage for a detailed examination of commerce across various time periods, starting with ancient civilizations and transitioning towards the medieval era, thereby laying a foundation for the book’s comprehensive exploration of global commerce.
