Beschreibung
Camel hoof and merchant ledger, the old world learned to speak in goods.
Along dusty tracks no map could fully capture, goods and ideas traveled farther than any army could march. The Silk Road was never a single road but a braided web of routes connecting China, Persia, India and the Mediterranean world over centuries. This book examines how merchant caravans, not conquering generals, built the first truly global system of exchange.
