Description

Move beyond Eurocentric perspectives with this comprehensive study of early-modern monetary history. While many texts focus solely on European developments, this book provides a global view of the economic forces that shaped the world between 1450 and 1800. Discover how silver production in Japan and South America met massive demand in China, and how Europe and Africa functioned as key areas for transshipment. This work examines the roles of various actors, including India and the Middle East, noting that Europeans often acted as middlemen in these massive trade networks. By looking at the movement of gold, copper, and cowries, the text explains how the interrelated trades in metals and monies created the first truly linked worldwide markets. It is an essential resource for understanding the economic disequilibrium that defined an expanding world.
