The history of trade between China and the West is fraught with conflict and cultural complications, as demonstrated by the audacious 19th-century attempt by the British to steal China's tea crop and transplant it to its own plantations in India. The caper is recounted in Sarah Rose's FOR ALL THE TEA IN CHINA: http://bit.ly/Zn5SltIn the dramatic story of one of the greatest acts of corporate espionage ever committed, Sarah Rose recounts the fascinating, unlikely circumstances surrounding a turning point in economic history. By the middle of the nineteenth century, the British East India Company faced the loss of its monopoly on the fantastically lucrative tea trade with China, forcing it to make the drastic decision of sending Scottish botanist Robert Fortune to steal the crop from deep within China and bring it back to British plantations in India. Fortune's danger-filled odyssey, magnificently recounted here, reads like adventure fiction, revealing a long-forgotten chapter of the past and the wondrous origins of a seemingly ordinary beverage. http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/20/february-20-1524-the-commemoration-of-the-death-and-defeat-of-a-mayan-prince-in-a-critical-juncture-of-globalization/ http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/20/february-20-1524-the-commemoration-of-the-death-and-defeat-of-a-mayan-prince-in-a-critical-juncture-of-globalization/#comments Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:27:22 +0000 Guillermo Pineda http://capitalisthistory.com/?p=2037 ]]> http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/20/february-20-1524-the-commemoration-of-the-death-and-defeat-of-a-mayan-prince-in-a-critical-juncture-of-globalization/feed/ 0 51.339680 12.371300 51.339680 12.371300 condottiero Title: The Clash.<br /><br />By: Alfredo Gálvez Suárez.<br /><br />A depiction of the battle of 1524 in which the Spanish conquistadores defeated the Army leaded by Tecum Umam. tecun-uman http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/20/george-washington-postal-service-act-02-20-1792/ http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/20/george-washington-postal-service-act-02-20-1792/#comments Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:30:37 +0000 Guillermo Pineda http://capitalisthistory.com/?p=2027 ]]> http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/20/george-washington-postal-service-act-02-20-1792/feed/ 0 51.339680 12.371300 51.339680 12.371300 condottiero End of Saturday Mail Delivery political cartoons going postal political cartoons http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/19/why-is-copernicus-relevant-to-our-understanding-of-globalization/ http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/19/why-is-copernicus-relevant-to-our-understanding-of-globalization/#comments Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:50:56 +0000 Guillermo Pineda http://capitalisthistory.com/?p=2009 ]]> http://capitalisthistory.com/2013/02/19/why-is-copernicus-relevant-to-our-understanding-of-globalization/feed/ 0 51.339680 12.371300 51.339680 12.371300 condottiero 192207_337884092969813_1647955587_o aristole's_universe
