The first "volume" is about Medieval Europe with small isolated communities - with the possessors (landowners, clergy) and the landless (peasants, craftsmen) - and the merchants who build up their capital by buying cheaply from the Arabs and selling expensively to the landowners in the small European communities. The merchants from Venice keep all competitors away - and therefore Portuguese merchants set out to find another route to India, the sea route around Africa.
