  • Why Did Modern Trade Fairs Appear?
    Why Did Modern Trade Fairs Appear? Albert Carreras1 and Lídia Torra2 Universitat Pompeu Fabra According to our interpretation, modern trade fairs started in Europe during the First World War and in its immediate aftermath. With the closing of trade movements during the war, many cities had to resort to the old medieval tradition of providing especial permits to traders to guarantee them personal protection during their trade meetings. During the tough post war crisis many more cities –typically industrial districts- discovered in the creation of trade fairs a powerful competitive tool to attract market transactions. We compare these developments with the remote origins of fairs, as, in both cases, trade fair development is a reaction to the closing of free markets under the pressure of political violence. Keywords: Trade fairs, Modern trade fairs, Markets, Industrial districts, International trade, First World War. JEL codes: N44, N74, N84 I. Introduction Why do trade fairs exist? When did they start? Do they matter at all? These very simple questions do not have obvious answers. At least, we have not been able to find them in the literature. To be more exact: we have not been satisfied with the answers we have found. The very few hints available, mainly in locally centred publications, suggest some continuity with traditional fairs and a lot of influence of the Universal Exhibitions. In this paper we will present our interpretation of the origins of the modern trade fairs.3 As a general movement, they started in Europe during the First World War and its immediate aftermath. There are precedents –the Leipzig trade fair is the most important, although there are others, related to the increased diffusion of the world fairs, but it is unlikely that the modern trade fairs started at that time without the impact of the First World War.

World literature in general is the huge concert of the whole of universal culture – of the soul of the nations: every harsh national voice is discordant until rendered consonant with the rest of this vast music. To add a new note to this concer, a new colour to the prodigiously varited palette of world literature is one of the great services a small literature can render to universal letters, and is part of the great duty of small nations, one realized most clearly by Count István Széchenyi, who expressed it as the duty: ”to present manking with a nation”. Life is ever seeking for particularity and variation, and how poor indeed a monotone humanity would be!
