First volume of the trilogy in which Braudel analyzes the world economy between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries.

For those interested in economic and social history, and in the work of Fernand Braudel; requires reading in French.
Fernand Paul Achille Braudel was a French historian.

He was a member of the Annales School of French historiography and social history in the 1950s and 1960s.
