In the mid nineteenth century a process began that appears, from a
present-day perspective, to have been the first wave of economic
globalization. Within a few decades global economic integration
reached a level that equaled, and in some respects surpassed, that
of the present day. This book describes the interpenetration of the
German economy with an emerging global economy before the First
World War, while also demonstrating the huge challenge posed by
globalization to the society and politics of the German Empire. The
stakes for both the winners and losers of the intensifying world
market played a major role in dividing German society into camps
with conflicting socio-economic priorities. As foreign trade policy
moved into the center stage of political debates, the German
government found it increasingly difficult to pursue a successful
policy that avoided harming German exports and consumer interests
while also seeking to placate a growing protectionist movement.
