<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Long before London and New York rose to international prominence, a trading route was discovered between Spanish America and China that ushered in a new era of globalization. The <i>Ruta de la Plata</i> or "Silver Way" catalyzed economic and cultural exchange, built the foundations for the first global currency, and led to the rise of the first "world city." And yet, for all its importance, the Silver Way is too often neglected in conventional narratives on the birth of globalization. Gordon and Morales re-establish its fascinating role in economic and cultural history, with direct consequences for how we understand China today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"a rollickingly fun read."--<i>National Interest Online</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Gordon</b> is the founder and editor of the <i>Asian Review of Books</i>.
