Summary

This chapter explains that globalisation is not new but the result of centuries of connections between societies through trade, migration, capital and the movement of people and ideas. Ancient routes such as the Silk Routes linked Asia, Europe and Africa, carrying goods, faiths and even diseases. The Columbian exchange after 1500 transferred crops like potatoes and maize to the Old World while germs such as smallpox devastated the Americas. In the nineteenth century three flows shaped the global economy — the flow of trade in goods, the flow of labour as migrants and indentured workers, and the flow of capital as investment. Technologies like railways, steamships and the refrigerated ship reorganised food production and trade across continents. The chapter then examines the disruptions of the twentieth century: the First World War, the Great Depression of the 1930s with its collapse of prices and employment, and the rebuilding after the Second World War through the Bretton Woods institutions (the IMF and the World Bank). It closes with the post-war decades of growth and the later shift of production to low-wage countries.
