Side 2 - Renaissance was active; its aspects were eagerness to learn, curiosity, criticism, and enthusiasm for adventure and invention. It is the economic changes of this period 1400 to 1700 which are described by the term Commercial Revolution. Changes are always going on, of course, in commerce as well as in social and political affairs; revolutions are perhaps as frequent in one as in another. But between 1400 and 1700 changes in methods of conducting business, in trading centers, in shipping, in the financial...
