Edward I returned from the Crusades in 1274, two years after his accession as King of England. In 1275, he made some experimental decrees. The Church laws against usury had recently been reiterated with more than usual vehemence at the Second Council of Lyon (1274), and Edward in the Statutum de Judaismo (Statute of the Jewry) absolutely forbade Jews to lend on usury, but granted them permission to engage in commerce and handicrafts, and even to take farms for a period not exceeding ten years, though he expressly excluded them from all the feudal advantages of the possession of land. This permission to own land, however, regarded as a means by which Jews in general could gain a livelihood, was illusory.

After the Mongol conquest of Korea in the thirteenth century, many Central Asian Muslims (called semu) entered the country—then ruled by the Goryeo dynasty as Mongol vassals—to serve in the Mongol and Korean administrations or to engage in commerce. These Muslims established a local community in the Korean capital of Kaegyong, where they constructed a mosque and enjoyed significant cultural and religious autonomy until a royal decree ordering forcible assimilation was passed in 1427. As the Mongols frequently appointed semu but rarely ethnic Koreans as local governors, Ramadan may have been a Muslim of Central Asian (perhaps Uyghur) ethnicity who was simply born or had settled in Korea. As Rongzhou was a center of trade with Trần Vietnam, historian Lee Hee-soo speculates that Ramadan may have been an international semu merchant based in Korea who was hired by the Yuan.

At the same time, even Montesquieu and other proponents of trade from the Enlightenment era have cautioned that some social effects of commerce may be negative, for example commodification, conspicuous consumption, or erosion of interest in non-commercial affairs. Edmund Burke offered the following critique of the doux commerce idea: that it is not commerce that civilizes humans, it is that humans are civilized through culture, which enables them to engage in commerce. This theory led to trade becoming associated with peaceful and inoffensive activities representative of the "civilized" West European nations; which has however been criticized by later scholars as omitting the facts that much of the said "gentle" trade and resulting prosperity was built on activities like the slave trade and colonial exploitation. The doux commerce theory continues to be debated in the modern times.
