The third volume in Fernand Braudel's magisterial history of the Middle Ages.
The concluding volume of Braudel's magnificent trilogy charts the growth of the world economy from the 15th to the 18th century, concentrating on the human activity that underlies the business of life - the bustle of the market, the great manipulators of capital, the labour of the slave, the peasant and factory workers, the fashions of the rich and the rise of the great financial centres of Genoa, Venice, Amsterdam and London.
