Providing an exceptional overview and analysis of the global
economy, from the origins of Homo sapiens to the present day, Colin
White explores our past to help understand our economic future. He
veers away from traditional Eurocentric approaches, providing a
truly global scope for readers. A History of the Global Economy
takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach, beyond the narrow
application of economic theory, to include the impact of climate
change, genetics and culture. The main themes include the creative
innovativeness of humans and how this generates economic
progression, the common economic pathway trodden by all societies
and the complementary relationship between government and the
market. The book moves through the four key economic stages of
human history - foraging, agriculture, industry and services - to
finally examine where the direction of our future may lie. This
comprehensive and ambitious book is a must-read for economists,
particularly economic historians, as well as anthropology and
political history scholars. It not only explores the history and
origins of the global economy but also provides a valuable analysis
of the current state of economic affairs, making it an ideal book
for those wishing to understand more about our ever-evolving global
society.
