Trade In Ancient Aztec Society  1. What evolutions in Aztec society helped establish trade and commerce and moved the Aztec toward a market economy' The most simplest form of commerce began almost instantaneously and without thought. When people had more corn or other vegetation than was needed they would barter with neighboring peoples for such things as maguey fiber or pottery. This bartering started becoming a greater influence and eventually the rulers organized centers or markets where such transactions could take place on a regular basis. More complicated forms of trade and commerce persisted not quite as suddenly. One particular juncture in the Aztec society that prompted growth was the development of different forms of social structure. Clans and guilds were no longer based solely upon your ancestry but were created with several people with several backgrounds. This allowed change and diversity to exist and encouraged economic growth through different peoples and ideas. Another evolution was the desire of the people and the king especially to learn about and benefit from distant tribes and societies rather than to remain isolated from them. They began to desire goods and products from far away nations due to their peculiarity and extravagance. Yet another evolution was the change from agriculture to business.
