POWER AND PLENTY - RONALD FINDLAY KEVIN H OROUR...

This new history of the last thousand years of world trade is remarkable in both its grand
sweep and its scholarly depth. It pieces together the story of global commerce from the
medieval spice traders and nomads of Central Asia to the discovery and incorporation of the New
World  to the Industrial Revolution and the rise of Europe  and to the globalizing forces of
the postwar world economy. One theme is the importance of the 'vast webs of interrelationships'
between western Europe and other regions that  beginning in the medieval period  set the stage
for modern economic growth. The other theme is the critical role of war in propelling economic
change through upheaval and adaptation.--G. John Ikenberry  Foreign Affairs
