The World That Trade Created brings to life the history of trade
and its actors. In a series of brief, highly readable vignettes,
filled with insights and amazing facts about things we tend to take
for granted, the authors uncover the deep historical roots of
economic globalization. Covering over seven hundred years of
history, this book, now in its fourth edition, takes the reader
around the world from the history of the opium trade to pirates, to
the building of corporations and migration to the New World. The
chapters are grouped thematically, each featuring an introductory
essay designed to synthesize and elaborate on key themes, both
familiar and unfamiliar. It includes ten new essays, on topics
ranging from the early modern ivory and slave trades across the
Indian Ocean, to the ways in which the availability of new consumer
goods helped change work habits in both Europe and East Asia, and
from the history of chewing gum to that of rare earth metals. The
introductory essays for each chapter, the overall introduction and
epilogue, and several of the essays have also been revised and
updated. The World That Trade Created continues to be a key
resource for anyone teaching world history, world civilization, and
the history of international trade.
