«A expansão quatrocentista portuguesa» is the historical essay by Vitorino Magalhães Godinho (paperback, Publicações Dom Quixote, 399 pages, in Portuguese).
The essay analyses the fifteenth-century Portuguese expansion as an economic and social phenomenon: new figures such as the knight-merchant, Atlantic colonisation and routes to African gold. It includes the correspondence with the Comissão Henriquina, which rejected the book for being too economicist and almost Marxist.
Second edition published in 2008. Includes bibliographical references and index.
Suitable for readers interested in the maritime and economic history of Portugal and in the age of discoveries.
