Description: | Today, in America, we are surrounded by objects from distant places: toys from China, cars from Japan, shoes from Mexico, wine from Argentina, and myriad goods from around the world. Workers in Naivasha, Kenya, harvest roses in the afternoon, and by the next morning they are for sale in the flower shops of London. High-speed, economical transportation links producers and consumers in an international marketplace; the average home in the western world contains goods transported by trains, container ships, and cargo jets. In the prehistoric and historic past, when transport was slower and costlier, the exchange networks that linked distant peoples were complex and productive. |
