The period between the end of the Fifteenth century and the beginning of the Eighteenth century witnessed a radical change in the economic scenario following the discovery and colonisation of North and South America and the increase of relationships between Europe and Asia and Africa. A number of essays by Italian and foreign experts outline the history of the early developments of capitalism and of the connections between evolution of economic structures and the political and social changes, and also show the main lines of development which determine the rise of a system of intercontinental exchanges.
