Basic Overview Of Trade Stuff

By Stacey Burt


It is called trading consistent socioeconomic activity in exchange of some materials that are available in market for buying and selling goods and services, whether for use, for sale or processing. It is the change or dealing with something for something else of equal value. For commercial or industrial activities mean both transfer of goods or services that are performed by a merchant or merchant (trade stuff).

The most common currency was pure gold, although throughout history have also appeared others, such as salt or pepper. Currencies intercontinental trading facilitated greatly. Throughout the Middle Ages, began to emerge a transcontinental trading routes trying meet the high European demand for goods and goods, especially luxury. Among the most famous routes highlights the Silk Road, but there were other important as import routes pepper, salt or dyes.

Therefore, surplus crops began to be exchanged with other objects in which other communities were specialized. Typically these objects were elements for the defense of community (weapons), deposits to transport or store food surpluses (amphoras, etc.), new agricultural tools (hoes metal ...), or even later luxury items (mirrors, earrings, etc).

This early trading, not only was a local transfer of goods and food, and scientific and technological innovations, among others, work in iron, bronze work, the wheel, the wheel, navigation, writing new forms of urbanism, and so on. In Iberian Peninsula this period is known as the Orientalizing, by continuing influences received from the East. This is when the Iberian culture emerges.

Non-combatant members of Order of Temple (Knights Templar) (XII-XIII) managed a complex economic structure throughout the Christian world, creating new financial techniques (notes and even the first bill of exchange) that constitute a primitive form of modern bank. Among the services offered was transporting money. The pilgrims could deposit money in an establishment and then go to another facility and remove, even between different countries, thus contributing to road safety. This was the first draft.

Before the transport revolution of nineteenth century, consumer goods had to be manufactured near the place of destination. Was uneconomic to transport goods from a remote location. Along with the Industrial Revolution took place a number of innovations in transportation revitalized trading. Now the goods could be manufactured anywhere and be transported to a very inexpensive way to all points of consumption. One of first contributions to transportation revolution was the railroad. Britain was the pioneer in this field, as a result of that, currently has the most dense railway network in world. In Spain first railway line was built in 1840 among populations of Barcelona and Mataro.

The currency, or money, in a more general definition, is an agreed in a community for the exchange of goods and assets between. The money not only has to serve for the exchange, but is also a unit of account and a tool to store value. Historically there have been many different types of money from pigs, whale teeth, cocoa, or certain types of seashells. But certainly the most widely used throughout history is gold.

Around 1400, the disruption of Mongol Empire, the growth of Ottoman Empire and the end of Byzantine Empire causes all routes of European trading with the East are blocked. The search for new routes, the rise of merchant capitalism and the desire to explore the potential of a global economy in Europe prompted the Age of Discovery.
