À propos de cet audio
A sweeping history that tracks the development of trade and industry across the world, from Ancient Rome to today.
From the development of international trade fairs in the 12th century to the innovations made in China, India, and the Arab world, it turns out that historical economies were much more sophisticated that we might imagine, tied together by webs of credit and financial instruments much like our modern economy.
Here, Philip Coggan takes us from the ancient mountains of North Wales through Grand Central station and the great civilizations of Mesopotamia to the factories of Malaysia, showing how changes in agriculture, finance, technology, work, and demographics have driven the progress of human civilization.
It's the story of how trade became broader and deeper over thousands of years; how governments have influenced economies, for good or ill; and how societies have repeatedly tried to tame, and harness, finance. More shows how, at every step of our long journey, it was the connection between people that resulted in more trade, more specialization, more freedom, and ultimately, more prosperity.

"Coggan, a columnist at The Economist, is one of the best financial journalists of his generation ... This is a grown-up book that is not suitable for adolescent Twitter warriors of the left or right." (The Times Saturday Edition)
"A lucid and wide-ranging new history of the global economy." (Financial Times)
"More is an impressive exercise in expanded journalism, and most readers will find much to agree with in its even-handed and eminently reasonable analysis." (Literary Review)

Philip Coggan is the Yuval NoahHarari of economics
Astounding book! if you have enjoyed "Sapiens : a brief history of mankind" by Yuval Noah Harari, you will definitely enjoy this one as well. I have a master's in international development and globalization and the author did a great job at vulgarizing the key elements of our modern economic system. Highly recommend!
