Item description from seller

670., [2] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Fernand Paul Achille Braudel (24 August 1902-27 November 1985) was a French historian. His scholarship focused on three main projects: The Mediterranean (1923-49, then 1949-66), Civilization and Capitalism (1955-79), and the unfinished Identity of France (1970-85). He was a member of the Annales School of French historiography and social history in the 1950s and 1960s. Braudel emphasized the role of large-scale socioeconomic factors in the making and writing of history. In a 2011 poll by History Today magazine, he was named the most important historian of the previous 60 years. At the outbreak of war in 1939, he was called up for military service and on 29 June 1940 taken prisoner as lieutenant in the 156th Infantry Regiment. He was held at prisoner-of-war camp Oflag XII-B in Mainz. He became the rector of the camp university, which gained him respectful treatment from the authorities and the right to borrow books and journals from the municipal library for his research. Under the Geneva Convention he received his pay, which he used to buy German books, and was able to order material from France. In June 1942, suspected of French Resistance involvement, he was transferred to a camp for special category prisoners (Oflag X-C) near Lübeck, where he remained for the rest of the war. Braudel became the leader of the second generation of Annales historians after 1945. He became the editor-in-chief of the Annales in 1957, which completed his rise to unrivaled influence on the development of the historical studies in France in the post-war years. This is the second volume in Braudel's magnificent new three-volume social and economic history of the world from the Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution. This is history on a grand scale yet always on the human level. Written with immediacy and realism, the book is full of personal stories and examples culled from a lifetime of research by a master who wears his erudition lightly. The preceding volume, The Structures of Everyday Life, described the material context of the preindustrial world, outlining the limitations of what was possible and identifying the means of social and economic development. In The Wheels of Commerce, now published for the first time in English, Braudel turns his attention to the markets and exchanges that, from the start, have been the real motors of change. Peddlers, merchants, fairs, market stalls, the first stock exchanges, provide the human and economic subject matter. As always, Braudel sees them in their totality and in perpetual motion. Means of travel and communication, style of life and social mores-all are brought to life with that marvelous specificity and imaginative power which are Braudel's hallmark. Out of this world of bargaining and bustle, of risk and disaster, of enormous wealth and dizzying success, emerges the beginning of the economic world we see around us, of multinational companies and worldwide finance. The book is profusely illustrated with contemporary prints and drawings from around the world. FERNAND BRAUDEL was born in 1902, received a degree in history in 1923, and subsequently taught in Algeria, Paris and Sao Paulo. He spent five years as a prisoner of war in Germany, during which time he wrote his grand thesis, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II, which was published in 1949. In 1946 he became a member of the editorial board of Annales, the famous journal founded by Marci Blotch and Lucien Feebler, whom he succeeded at the College de France in 1949.
