Description

Explore the rapid integration of the Pacific into the global industrial economy through this scholarly volume from Routledge. This collection of essays examines how the region's raw materials, such as copper and rubber, fueled industrial growth. The text analyzes the impact of mechanized competition on local handicraft industries, noting how some sectors adapted to create new economic patterns. These shifts helped establish Japan as a center of power and provided the foundation for future development in coastal China, Korea, and Taiwan. Additionally, the book covers how the Pacific coast of the Americas entered the industrial world primarily as an exporter of raw materials. This historical study offers a detailed look at the changing economic landscapes between 1500 and 1900.
