Forget the Great Depression for a minute. Canadian academics Karl Moore and David Lewis argue that you can get a better perspective on the Great Crash of 2008 AD by contrasting it with the Great Crash of 1788 BC - a market meltdown that befell the ancient world's most dynamic financial centre almost 4,000 years earlier... Karl Moore (faculty of management at 69ÈÈÊÓƵ) and David Lewis (faculty of history at California State University, Long Beach) were former college roommates in Toronto. In their new book, The Origins of Globalization, they combine archeology, history, religion and economics with the theory and practice of the modern multinational corporation to tell a compelling tale that appears never before to have been told.
