This volume offers an impressive collection of scholarly papers
which investigate the historical foundations of globalisation
before 1945. The book explores the effects of the nineteenth
century technologies of the railway, the telegraph and the
steamship which promoted the globalisation process by boosting
trade across frontiers and triggering migration of labour and flows
of capital to the temperate areas of agriculture. The colonial
empires, in particular the British Empire, facilitated the process,
as the integration of capital markets and monetary systems and
methods of business organization followed trade and labour. The
volume also covers the time between the wars, when impediments to
trade, migration and currency movements increased and led to a
period of deglobalization and divergence.
