Description

Explore a groundbreaking reexamination of early-modern monetary history that transcends Eurocentric perspectives and reveals the true global architecture of trade. This Routledge publication demonstrates how Japan and South America dominated silver production whilst China served as the principal end-market, with Europe and Africa functioning as key transshipment hubs rather than the centres of commerce. The book challenges conventional narratives by illustrating that Europeans were often middlemen rather than architects of global trade networks. Beyond silver, it examines gold, copper, and cowries as monetised substances within interconnected worldwide markets. By tracing how disequilibrium within these interrelated metal and money trades first linked global markets together, the work provides essential context for understanding the emergence of our modern economic system and the complex relationships that shaped international commerce during this transformative period.
