Download Dynasties of the Sea: The Shipowners and Financiers Who Expanded the Era of Free Trade AudioBook Free
Dynasties of the Sea is the first audiobook to examine one of the most powerful forces in global trade and financial development: world shipment and the magnates who drive the industry. Functioning from Monaco to Hong Kong, London to Athens, Singapore to Oslo, shipowners and their financiers have changed the world in every way. From moving agricultural products from Brazil to Africa and the center East, to providing Australian iron ore to China, to holding Middle East crude petrol to Asia and the Americas, to holding nearly every article of clothing you are putting on and every digital camera on the planet, ship-owners have allowed global financial development and helped improve the global quality lifestyle. While ocean shipment remains one of the most important businesses on the planet, it is also one of the most volatile. Affected by such imponderables as weather and politics upheaval, ship-owning civilizations have managed their commitment to a business that has endured for years and years - and can continue to go through for years and years to come.
