For better or for worse, in recent times the rapid growth of
international economic exchange has changed our lives. But when did
this process of globalization begin, and what effects did it have
on economies and societies? Pim de Zwart and Jan Luiten van Zanden
argue that the networks of trade established after the voyages of
Columbus and Da Gama of the late fifteenth century had
transformative effects inaugurating the first era of globalization.
The global flows of ships, people, money and commodities between
1500 and 1800 were substantial, and the re-alignment of production
and distribution resulting from these connections had important
consequences for demography, well-being, state formation and the
long-term economic growth prospects of the societies involved in
the newly created global economy. Whether early globalization had
benign or malignant effects differed by region, but the world
economy as we now know it originated in these changes in the early
modern period.
