Produktbeschreibung

Sugar and Industry examines the profound and multifaceted role of sugar in shaping world history. It highlights how this single commodity has influenced economies, societies, and the environment on a global scale. The book traces sugar's journey from its ancient origins to its status as a global commodity, exploring its impact on colonial economies and the transatlantic slave trade. Readers will discover how scientific advancements in sugar production, while improving efficiency, also exacerbated environmental concerns, illustrating the tensions between progress and exploitation. This economic history delves into three key areas: the historical evolution of sugar production, its economic impact on global trade and industrial development, and its social consequences, including labor practices and public health implications.

The book progresses chronologically, starting with sugar's origins, moving through its role in shaping colonial economies, analyzing the industrial revolution's impact, and concluding with contemporary issues like health impacts and challenges faced by sugar-producing nations in a globalized market.
