A 2nd answer: A more complete answer would be to say that the middle ages had a mixed economy, rather than a free market. Particularly during the central and later middle ages there was significant control on certain types of manufacturing, crafts, and trade. Trade guilds were a combination of labor union and regulatory body, holding control over a particular craft or trade, setting wages and conditions for the workers, and also requiring minimum standards for the work and in some cases setting prices. A baker's guild, for example, would not only have rules for the treatment of apprentices, the wages of journeymen, etc, but would also serve to protect the public by examining the quality and weight of bread and setting the prices of loaves. Municipalities might also have laws or regulations to control the price of certain goods and services.
The economy was far from planned, however, and there was much free trade and individual initiative in the function of the economy.
The rise of banking was one of the things that happened as the Middle Ages drew to an end. There were possibly banks in some market places at the end of the Middle Ages, but there certainly would have been none during most of the Middle Ages.

Merchants in the Middle Ages were vital to the economy, facilitating trade between regions and cultures. They often operated in towns and cities, selling goods such as textiles, spices, and metals, and played a crucial role in the burgeoning market economy. Many merchants formed guilds to protect their interests, set standards for quality, and regulate competition. While some accumulated significant wealth and status, others faced challenges from fluctuating markets and political instability.
The third period of the Middle Ages was the Late Middle Ages. The first is called the Early Middle Ages or the Dark Age. The second period was the High Middle Ages.

In middle ages, a prince should actually has knowledge in economy, government and manners, military strategy so he should master sword techniques.
The manor economy, like the economy of the middle ages as a whole, is based on agriculture. Farming, herding, orchards, and textile production was the basis of most wealth.

Simply to attract customers. Market traders do it to this day.

I think the factors that made the manor the center of the European economy during the Middle Ages were a weak central government and feudalism because the knight that protected the lords got land around the lord's house which created the manor.
There was no explorers in the middle ages. When exploration started that is when the middle ages ended.
