Economic Globalization

From the famous Silk Road network across Eurasia and the trans-Saharan trade routes, this is a reminder of how world history, that exchange among distant peoples is not altogether new and our roots of economic globalization lies deep in the past. Our history of exchanging goods among communities occupying different ecological zones has long been a prominent feature of human history.

This is very interesting even today, we continue to monopolize where we can find a product or service in the world. For example, the production of particular products, in China such as silk or spices in Southeast Asia that others found valuable. It was through long-distrance trading that enabled humans and linking and shaping distant societies and peoples. Trade shaped the structure of societies and became the means of social mobility. Interesting enough that Political life also was sometimes transformed by trade. You can definitely today see that in our current society of this going on. Whether on the internet or agriculture, we are now much more sophisticated.
