Empire of Cotton by Beckert, Sven
ISBN: 9780141979984 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 640 PUBLICATION DATE: 29.10.2015 DIMENSIONS: 19.8 x 12.9 x 2.7 centimetres
DESCRIPTION: Winner of the 2015 Bancroft Prize and the 2015 Philip Taft Prize Finalist for the 2015 Pulizter Prize for History and shortlisted for the 2015 Cundill Prize in Historical Literature Economist BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2015. For about 900 years, from 1000 to 1900, cotton was the world's most important manufacturing industry. It remains a vast business - if all the cotton bales produced in 2013 had been stacked on top of each other they would have made a somewhat unstable tower 40,000 miles high. Sven Beckert's superb new book is a history of the overwhelming role played by cotton in dictating the shape of our world. It is both a gripping narrative and a brilliant case history of how the world works.
