"Sino-European Luxury Trade and the Making of the Early Modern World" with Kenneth Pomeranz from October 06, 2022

Prof. Kenneth Pomeranz (Faculty Director at the University of Chicago Yuen Campus in Hong Kong) and 20-21 Book Fellow, discussed Early Modern Trade with Fernando Arteaga (Senior Fellow at the Economics Department, University of Pennsylvania). Dr. Arteaga presented on the institutional properties that governed trade between the East and West, tracing the paths of the luxury trade between China, Europe, and Latin America from the 16th to 18th centuries. Driven by the exchange of silver from Spanish colonies in Peru and Mexico for Chinese silk, porcelain, tea, and Southeast Asian spices, the luxury trade facilitated the spread of ideas, plants, animals, and diseases globally. Dr. Artaeage and Prof. Pomeranz analyzed how luxury trade transformed societies and created the world we know today.
