A Book in Review – A Splendid Exchange

Book Count: 51

A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World by: William J. Bernstein
Non-fiction: History, economics 385 pages 2008

This book is about the entire history of trade in the world, starting with the first towns and ending with thoughts on the current issues in trade. It does this by dealing with major issues and places of importance at a time and then showing how that affected the world. It also deals with different theories of trade and how nations should deal with it including statistics that should how were different theories work. It was informative, but very slow reading.
