In this document, the
author tends to relate moral motives to the process of trade.
Although the document focuses on Europe, there is a sense of the church having a problem
with “markets” because they are “morally worse” than fairs. This links
directly with other documents that focus on religion and are less
concerned with material and cultural exchanges. Therefore, the point of
view
is that of a cleric providing a religious response to the process of trade.
