Acerca deste livro eletrónico

Wool Trade explores the profound influence of wool on world history, economics, and culture. Far from being a simple textile, wool acted as a major driver of economic growth and social stratification. The book examines wool's journey from its origins to its role in shaping global commerce and fashion. Readers will discover how this single commodity influenced societies, fueled empires, and left a lasting mark on the world. For example, the English enclosure movements, which transformed agricultural practices, were largely driven by the profitability of wool production. The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with the early domestication of sheep and progressing through the rise of wool as a global trade commodity. The book explores the impact on medieval economies, the rise of global trade networks, and also the social structures created by wool. By drawing on historical records, archaeological findings, and economic data, Wool Trade offers a comprehensive look at the interconnectedness of history, economics, and culture through the lens of this ubiquitous fiber. The book emphasizes wool's active role in shaping events.
