Opis

The World That Trade Created brings to life the history of trade and its actors. In a series of brief, highly readable vignettes, filled with insights and amazing facts about things we tend to take for granted, the authors uncover the deep historical roots of economic globalization. Covering over 700 years of history, the book takes the reader around the world, from the history of chocolate and the opium trade to pirates, the building of corporations and migration to the New World. This new edition includes additional vignettes covering key themes such as environmental issues, gender, international labour markets, communication and the digitization of trade. It continues to be a key resource for anyone teaching world history, world civilization and the history of international trade.
