In anthropological discussions, “trade” is usually understood in the sense of an exchange where goods and services that are not available locally are obtained. Long‐distance trade may be conducted according to the market principle of a supply and demand price mechanism, but studies have shown that much trade occurs on different principles such as gifting or state treaty. Trade within a single culture often involves mores and norms that are specific to that culture, while long‐distance trade requires negotiation across such distinctions. In a wide variety of cultural contexts, trade has been disparaged or downplayed. At various stages, interconnections of people around the world have been intensified through increasingly global systems of trade
