Trade is normally a two-way or multi-directional phenomenon. There is a deafening silence in the article on what, if anything, was traded from West to East. Did European and other countries bordering the Mediterranean simply pay (gold and silver) for everything imported? Norvo (talk) 20:31, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Western Europe paid mostly silver from the mines of Germany, Greece, etc for the spices and other luxury goods of Asia. When maritime technology brought easier shipping by sea, it also brought the conquest of Peru and Mexico and their silver mines. Minted into Spanish dollars this silver paid for Spain's wars in Italy and the Netherlands, and from there some of it flowed to East Asia in the spice trade. The resulting inflation in East Asia became more severe when the Manila galleon trade got underway. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:21, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
