The first volume, titled 'Structures of Everyday Life: Possible and Impossible', is dedicated to various spheres of material life. The work is rich in material concerning different aspects of the daily lives of people in the late Middle Ages and early Modern Times - both in Europe and far beyond its borders. The second volume, 'The Wheels of Commerce', explores the complex world of economic communications. Fernand Braudel examines various levels of commercial activity - the work of carriers, long-distance trade, the functioning of international exchanges and credit institutions. He traces how their complex interactions influenced society, social hierarchy, and entire civilizations. One of Braudel's main tasks is to compare market economy and capitalism, defining the points of their intersection, the degree of independence, and the nature of their conflict. In the final volume of his work, Fernand Braudel presents world economic history, 'organizing' it in time and space.
