Contrary to conventional views, De Zwart finds significant evidence of the integration of global commodity markets, an important dimension of globalization, before the 1800s. The effects of this globalization, and the associated colonialism, were diverse and could vary between and within regions. As globalization and colonialism affected patterns of economic development across the globe they played a part in the rise of global economic inequality, known as the ?Great Divergence?, in the early modern period. 410 0$aGlobal Economic History Series$v11. 606 $aCost and standard of living$xHistory 606 $aConsumption (Economics)$xHistory 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects 606 $aConsumption (Economics)$2fast 606 $aCost and standard of living$2fast 606 $aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCost and standard of living$xHistory. 615 0$aConsumption (Economics)$xHistory. 615 0$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects. 615 7$aConsumption (Economics) 615 7$aCost and standard of living. 615 7$aGlobalization$xEconomic aspects. 676 $a330.916506 700 $aDe Zwart$b Pim$0861452 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480550703321 996 $aGlobalization and the colonial origins of the great divergence$91922525 997 $aUNINA
