Fernand Braudel's fundamental three-volume work is a comprehensive study of the economic life of mankind in the crucial epoch of capitalist relations. The first volume, entitled "Structures of Everyday Life: The Possible and the Impossible," is devoted to various spheres of material life. The work is rich in material on various aspects of everyday life in the late Middle Ages and early modern times, both in Europe and far beyond its borders. The book will be of interest not only to specialists in history and economics, but also to the widest range of readers. "Games of Exchange" is about the complex world of economic communications. Fernand Braudel explores different levels of commercial activity - the labor of peddlers, long-distance trade, the workings of international exchanges and credit institutions. He traces how their complex interactions affected society and social hierarchy. One of Brodel's main tasks is to compare the market economy and capitalism, identifying their points of contact, their degree of independence, and the nature of their opposition. In the final volume of his work, Fernand Braudel outlines world economic history, "organizing" it in time and space. It appears as an alternation of domination of several world-economies united not only by a single center, but also by common temporal rhythms. Considering the reasons for the rise and decline of these worlds, the problems of the formation of national markets and regional peculiarities of the industrial revolution, the author chronologically verifies his main hypotheses set forth in the previous volumes.
