Basic Guide To Trade Stuff

The discovery of America by Europeans was another step in trading. The new flow of gold obtained Spanish of "quasi-free" way in South America, cleaned up and strengthened trading and European equity networks. European banks grew exponentially and began to emerge major European banks such as the Bank of Amsterdam, the Bank of Sweden or the Bank of England (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.

Before the nineteenth century transatlantic crossings between America and Europe were made in sailing, which was slow and often dangerous. With steamboats, crossings became faster and safer. Then they began to emerge major ocean carriers with very frequent crossings. Soon, the fact build the largest ocean liner, fast or fancy, became a national symbol.

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.

Elsewhere in Europe and the United States also were very important river transport. It began to widen and deepen many rivers to make navigable. And a little later in many regions they began to build a dense network of waterways. Finally, the appearance of car and the systematic construction of roads, prompting goods could be transported directly to exact point of consumption, is what is known as capillary distribution of goods.

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.
