Abstract

Book Reviews engaging in wars. Obviously they were wrong (p. 147). Ricardian's theory of "comparative advantage" as a theoretical base for the universal benefits of "free trade" doesn't agree with the tariffs imposed by United States and Germany during their nineteenth-century industrial growth (p. 218). And current notions of economic development conflict with ecological stability (p. 114). "In fact these essays serve as an important corrective to a tendency in academic and popular media to abstract markets from human motive and agency" (p. xi). Historians, social scientists in general, and students at all levels should read this excellent introduction to the history of world trade. The publication of a cheaper paperback edition would greatly help instructors looking for reading materials but also mindful of students' budgets. arturo giráldez University of the Pacific Plantation Societies in the Era of European Expansion.
