Description

This Routledge exploration in world history examines the origins of the first truly global economy centred in Europe and its role as the foundation for the modern world system. Professor Smith investigates the remarkable economic achievements of cultures worldwide that initially exceeded European progress, then analyses why these societies failed to sustain their economic momentum despite early promise. The study moves beyond simple traditionalism as an explanation, offering deeper insight into the complex forces of merchant capital and colonialism that shaped international commerce across four centuries and established the economic structures that would define the contemporary world.

Key Features

Creating A World Economy by Routledge provides a comprehensive examination of merchant capital's role in shaping global trade networks between 1400 and 1825.

The book explores why non-European cultures with superior early economic achievements could not maintain their momentum against emerging European commercial dominance.

Professor Smith's analysis goes beyond traditionalism to reveal the complex mechanisms of colonialism and world trade that built the modern economic system.

This business and economic history study covers four centuries of development, offering readers essential context for understanding contemporary global commerce and capitalism's historical roots.
