Description

Explore the hidden foundations of early global trade with The Long Millennium: Affluence, Architecture and Its Dark Matter Economy. Published by Routledge as part of the Global Histories Before Globalisation series, this work examines how the exchange of high-value luxury items shaped the world in the first millennium CE. Instead of focusing on standard commodities, this book looks at the movement of diamonds, gold, cinnamon, scented woods, ivory, and pearls. These items were easy to transport and required little overhead, yet they built the framework for what we now recognize as global trade. The author introduces the concept of a "dark matter economy" to explain these complex and often invisible economic relationships. Readers will find a detailed analysis of how these global flows first integrated within South India and Sri Lanka. This book offers a unique perspective on how architecture and affluence connected distant regions long before the modern era of globalization.
