4409historical_info = flavor_cas.72.historical_info Tomás de Mercado was a Dominican friar and moral theologian who explored the intersection of Christian ethics and commerce. His major work, Suma de Tratos y Contratos, which was written in 1571, became an influential text across Catholic Europe. He analyzed price mechanisms, fair wages, and moral limits of profit in global trade, particularly relevant as Spain expanded its empire. He also criticized the slave trade and monopolistic abuses.
