Write a research paper on the process and importance of trade in the early modern period Trade has been one of the most transformative activities in human activity. The early modern period saw a virtual explosion in trade as more commodities became popular and the profit and power that trade created became clear. You will be informing others about aspects of the trade and commodities. You will cover one particular commodity and how it helped to change the world. We are using Felipe Fernndez-Armesto, The World: A History (Penguin Academics, 2011). (The 3rd edition is currently in print, with slightly different chapter organization. Earlier editions are fine).
