Krátky popis
The thrilling story of the English merchant adventurers who changed
the world. In the mid-sixteenth century, England was a small and
relatively insignificant kingdom on the periphery of Europe, and it
had begun to face a daunting array of social, commercial and
political problems. Struggling with a single export - woollen cloth
- a group of merchants formed arguably the world's first
joint-stock company and set out to seek new markets and trading
partners.It was a venture that relied on the very latest scientific
innovations and required an extraordinary appetite for risk. At
first they headed east, and dreamed of Cathay, with its silks and
exotic luxuries. Eventually, they turned west, and so began a new
chapter in history.Based on archival research and a bold
interpretation of the historical record, New World, Inc. draws a
portrait of life in London, on the Atlantic and across the New
World, and reveals how profit-hungry business people transformed
England into a world power.
