Description
The history of international trade and development over the last millennium is a complex and interconnected story. This book provides a comprehensive account of the world economy from its earliest beginnings to the present day, tracing the successive waves of globalization and "deglobalization" that have shaped the modern world. By examining the technological and political causes behind these long-term trends, the authors reveal how the expansion and contraction of the world economy have been directly tied to the two-way interplay of trade and geopolitics.
