Trade specifically involves the exchange of goods, while industry produces goods. - Commerce requires less capital than industry, which needs heavy capital for manufacturing. Trade also requires less capital than industry. - The risk is lower for commerce and trade due to lower investment needs, compared to industry which has higher risks due to large capital requirements.
