Including 11 essays published over the last 15 years, this volume
by Dennis O. Flynn and Arturo GirA!ldez concerns the origins and
early development of globalization. It opens with their 1995
"Silver Spoon" essay and a theoretical essay published in 2002.
Subsequent sections deal with Pacific Ocean exchanges,
interconnections between the Spanish, Ottoman, Japanese and Chinese
empires, and the necessity of multidisciplinary approaches to
global history. The volume follows the evolution of the authors'
thinking concerning the central role of China in the global silver
trade, as well as interrelations among silver and non-silver
markets. Research before 2002 paved the way for development of a
coherent 'Birth of Globalization' narrative that portrays economic
factors in the context of powerful epidemiological, ecological,
demographic, and cultural forces. In the final essay Flynn and
GirA!ldez argue for incorporating the work of all academic
disciplines when attempting to understand the history of
globalization, advocating an inclusive historical data base which
recognizes contextual realities and an inductive process of
reasoning.
