The Ages of Globalization Geography, Technology, and Institutions

Along the way, he considers how the interplay of geography, technology, and institutions influenced the Neolithic revolution; the role of the horse in the emergence of empires; the spread of large land-based empires in the classical age; the rise of global empires after the opening of sea routes from Europe to Asia and the Americas; and the industrial age.
The dynamics of these past waves, Sachs demonstrates, offer fresh perspective on the ongoing processes taking place in our own time - a globalization based on digital technologies. Sachs emphasizes the need for new methods of international governance and cooperation to prevent conflicts and to achieve economic, social, and environmental objectives aligned with sustainable development.
The Ages of Globalization is a vital book for all listeners aiming to make sense of our rapidly changing world.
