We are told that under the pressure of increasing globalisation, it is India and China that are the new world manufacturing powerhouses. However, this is not a new phenomenon: until the industrial revolution, Asia manufactured great quantities of colourful printed cottons that were sold to places as far afield as Japan, West Africa and Europe. Cotton explores this earlier globalised economy and its transformation after 1750 as cotton led the way in the industrialisation of Europe. By the early nineteenth century, India, China and the Ottoman Empire switched from world producers to buyers of European cotton textiles, a position that they retained for over two hundred years. This is a fascinating and insightful story which ranges from Asian and European technologies and African slavery to cotton plantations in the Americas and consumer desires across the globe"-- Geschichte 1000-2000 gnd BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History bisacsh Cotton textile industry History Cotton trade History Cotton History Baumwollfaser (DE-588)4136931-2 gnd u 407.c Agricultural machinery idsbb FG BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 vktex idsbb A wg SzZuIDS BS/BE et SzZuIDS BS/BE ng SzZuIDS BS/BE IDSBB A202 A202 FH DG AE 16253 NELA2021603 / Akz: k/16,160 IDSBB A310 A310 MAG MKB 1Q 1272 NELA3101606 / Akz.:ba/mvkd/k IDSBB 100 1- Riello Giorgio 1974- (DE-588)1075816831 Verfasser aut SWISSBIB 253779642 ORANGE 279344988
