Description
The 10,000-year Rise of the World Economy by Philip Coggan From obsidian blades to toothpaste tubes, the humblest household products reveal a complex web of enterprise that stretches around the globe. This fascinating story begins with ancient long-distance trade and ends with the current Sino-American trade war. By exploring medieval cottages, hi-tech farms, prehistoric burial mounds, and modern central banks, Coggan uncovers how connections between people created our wealth. The global economy's growth was driven by innovations in the 18th century, which brought prosperity to a lasting level around the world. As Coggan pieces together this saga, he finds that it was these human connections that created our wealth, bringing us more of what we wanted, needed, and never imagined. This book takes you on a journey through time, exploring how our network has expanded and evolved over 10,000 years. Will the same openness continue to serve us in the 21st century? Coggan's engaging narrative sheds light on this question, providing a unique perspective on the world economy's rise.
