This piece is an extraordinary parable about world trade, and it's not a coincidence that Jacques Vincey renamed it to Business in Venice. It's a masterly fresco about transaction, both in love and in business. Speculation, debt and little deals with the justice: the central themes of The Merchant of Venice echo deafeningly in today's world!
