eBook 정보

'Historic Trade Routes' offers a compelling exploration of how ancient commercial networks evolved into today's interconnected global economy, focusing on the transformative power of trade routes like the Silk Road and Mediterranean maritime systems. The book masterfully weaves together archaeological evidence, historical documents, and economic data to demonstrate how these ancient pathways created enduring patterns of commerce and cultural exchange that continue to shape our modern world.

Through a well-structured examination divided into three main sections, the book first delves into the physical infrastructure of major trade routes, including caravanserais and ports, before analyzing the sophisticated economic systems that developed around them. The narrative brings to life how the Silk Road, established in 130 BCE, connected Han Dynasty China to Roman Europe, facilitating not just the exchange of goods but also the spread of technologies, religions, and ideas.

Particularly fascinating is the book's exploration of early banking networks and risk management strategies that emerged along these routes. The interdisciplinary approach combines economic history with cultural anthropology, challenging traditional Eurocentric views by highlighting the crucial roles of Central Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern merchants. While primarily focusing on the period from 200 BCE to 1500 CE, the book draws compelling parallels between ancient and modern trade dynamics, making it relevant for understanding contemporary global commerce, including initiatives like China's modern Belt and Road project.
