BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2015 'Knowledgeable and stunning' Orhan Pamuk 'A
masterpiece of the historian's craft' The Nation For about 900
years, from 1000 to 1900, cotton was the world's most important
manufacturing industry. It remains a vast business - if all the
cotton bales produced in 2013 had been stacked on top of each other
they would have made a somewhat unstable tower 40,000 miles high.
Sven Beckert's superb new book is a history of the overwhelming
role played by cotton in dictating the shape of our world. It is
both a gripping narrative and a brilliant case history of how the
world works.
