In addition to discussions of commodity trade in different parts of the world, essays in this collection deal with the effects of governmental policies towards the flows of capital and labour (particularly the movement of slaves from Africa to America and of indentured slaves from Great Britain to mainland North America and the British Caribbean), and the development of trading institutions and their impacts on economic development. Many deal with topics such as the role of slavery and the slave trade on European development, the burdens of mercantilism, the impact of European expansion on the economics of the less developed parts of the world, and the effect of technological changes on the nature and magnitude of world trade.Stanley L.
