Description

The Year 1000 When Explorers Connected the World - and Globalization Began by Valerie Hansen In 1000, for the first time, new trade routes linked the entire globe, setting in motion a chain of events that would change the world forever. This was the 'big bang' of globalization, which paved the way for centuries of exploration, trade, and cultural exchange. Drawing on new historical sources and cutting-edge archaeology, Valerie Hansen reveals a more complex and nuanced picture of globalization's early beginnings. She shows how encounters between different cultures in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas led to the transfer of goods, ideas, and technologies that shaped the course of history. From the Maya trading with Native Americans to the spread of chocolate across the globe, Hansen's research sheds new light on the interconnectedness of the world at this pivotal moment. This book offers a compelling revisionist argument about the origins of globalization, challenging traditional views and introducing readers to a richly detailed and engaging narrative.
