The literature on early-modern monetary history is vast and rich,
yet overly Eurocentric. This book takes a global approach. It calls
attention to the fact that, for example, Japan and South America
were dominant in silver production, while China was the principal
end-market; key areas for transshipment included Europe and Africa,
India and the Middle East. Europeans were often just middlemen.
Other monetized substances - gold, copper and cowries - must also
be viewed globally. The interrelated trades in metals and monies
are what first linked worldwide markets, and disequilibrium within
the silver market in the 16th and 17th centuries was an active
cause of this global trade.
