Description
The story of trade is the story of humanity. From the copper in Mesopotamian ploughs to the silicon atoms within the chip inside your smartphone, intricate global trading networks have evolved over millennia to fulfil the distinctly human desire to buy and sell.
Today, the volume of trade bestriding the planet is unprecedented. Yet, as fractures in the global order emerge - from an era of globalisation and untrammelled flows of goods and money to a new world of restrictions, intervention and, possibly, war - understanding this fundamental shift to the dominant economic consensus is more important than ever.
In TRADE WORLD, bestselling, award-winning author Ed Conway tells this extraordinary story through these three commonplace products - bread, cloth and cars. With a compelling blend of economic history and first-hand access to key figures and institutions, he takes us from policy treaties to ground level to show us the people who make, ship and sometimes smuggle the products we buy on a daily basis.
Discover the hidden, shifting trade world behind everything you see around you.
