. Essays on Global and Comparative History American Historical Association, Washington, DC, (1993)

Abstract

Most works on the rise of capitalism and European global hegemony begin around A.D. 1400 and focus on European development. This essay discusses the hundred years between A.D. 1250 and 1350 and reveals a complex system of world trade and cultural exchange that involved many advanced societies between northwestern Europe and China.
