  Global capitalism refers to the interconnected economic system that spans across national borders, where capital, goods, services, and labor move freely to create a global market. The emergence of global capitalism is deeply intertwined with historical shifts in political, technological, and economic structures, particularly the acceleration of trade and investment in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. At its core, global capitalism is driven by the logic of profit maximization, competition, and the pursuit of economic efficiency on a global scale. 
  The roots of global capitalism can be traced to the rise of industrial capitalism in the 18th and 19th centuries, which laid the foundation for an interconnected global economy. With the expansion of imperialism, the development of transportation technologies like steamships and railways, and the establishment of international financial institutions, economic activity increasingly transcended national boundaries. The post-World War II period saw an unprecedented acceleration of this trend, with institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank being established to facilitate international economic cooperation and development. The creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995 further integrated global markets by promoting free trade and reducing trade barriers.

  Mercantilism Explained - The...

  Mercantilism, a dominant economic theory from the 16th to the 18th century, played a pivotal role in shaping the economic and political landscape of early modern Europe. Rooted in the belief that a nation's wealth and power were measured by its stockpile of precious metals, particularly gold and silver, mercantilism emphasized the importance of maintaining a favorable balance of trade. Nations sought to maximize exports while minimizing imports, often employing protectionist policies to achieve this goal. This approach reflected the belief that global wealth was finite, creating fierce competition among nations to secure the largest share of resources and economic advantage. 
  The historical context of mercantilism is deeply intertwined with the Age of Exploration and the rise of powerful nation-states. During this period, European powers such as Spain, Portugal, England, France, and the Netherlands expanded their empires overseas, establishing colonies that served as both sources of raw materials and markets for finished goods. These colonies were central to mercantilist strategies, enabling mother countries to extract wealth and resources while controlling trade to their advantage. This symbiotic relationship between mercantilism and colonial expansion would shape the geopolitical dynamics of the time, fueling rivalries and conflicts between competing empires. 
  Central to mercantilism was the role of government intervention in the economy. Unlike modern free-market principles, mercantilist policies relied heavily on state control to regulate trade and protect domestic industries. Governments imposed tariffs on imported goods, subsidized local production, and established monopolies through chartered companies to ensure economic self-sufficiency and reduce dependence on foreign powers. This top-down approach sought to consolidate economic power within the state, reinforcing the notion that national prosperity and security were interconnected.

  Peppered with much hitherto unknown information, this book provides the first detailed insider's account of the dramatic downfall of the Swiss-American money house, which always sailed very close to the wind – and in the end went down.
