English translation:Encouraging people to buy and sell...
Explanation:
The Italian is indeed quite something. Obviously, I don't know what comes before or after in the paragraph (people, companies, society, etc.) but I think you could put "Encouraging people (or companies) to buy and sell has become ...".
Hope it helps.

The encouragement of sales and purchases...


Explanation:
