Mevlânâ'dan

Çok kişi ay ışığında yolunu görmez; güneş doğunca yol görünür. Güneş, değiş tokuş edenleri tam olarak gösterir; şüphesiz çarşılar gündüz vaktinde olur. Böylece sahteyle, geçer olan para iyice görünür; böylece aldatma ve hileden uzak olunur. Güneşin ışığı yeryüzüne tam gelince, tacirler için âlemlere rahmet olur. Ancak kalpazanlarca çok nefret edilir; çünkü güneşle onun parası ve malı değersiz olur.

Viewed holistically, the evidence from Tyre shows that as the profits from inter-regional exchange increased, the power of the king became progressively more constrained by the city’s wealthy mercantile families who were keen to influence public affairs.

By the dawn of the first millennium, the Phoenician cities had become large industrial and commercial centres which specialised in the manufacture of luxury and prestige items. Due to the exceptionally high prices such items could command, they were either destined to be exchanged in markets outside of the Levant or, less frequently, to satisfy the needs of a very restricted number of wealthy clients within Phoenicia itself.

Though the Phoenicians are known to have employed three primary forms of voluntary exchange mechanism (gift giving, barter and monetarised market exchange), the prevalence, importance and degree of overlap between these types of exchange are far from certain.
