Metals and Monies in an Emerging Global Economy: An Expanding World: The European Impact on World History, 1450 to 1800

Autor Arturo Giráldez Editat de Dennis O. Flynn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 mai 1997
The literature on early-modern monetary history is vast and rich, yet overly Eurocentric. This book takes a global approach. It calls attention to the fact that, for example, Japan and South America were dominant in silver production, while China was the principal end-market; key areas for transshipment included Europe and Africa, India and the Middle East. Europeans were often just middlemen. Other monetized substances - gold, copper and cowries - must also be viewed globally. The interrelated trades in metals and monies are what first linked worldwide markets, and disequilibrium within the silver market in the 16th and 17th centuries was an active cause of this global trade.

Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. XXX, No. 1
