It follows their businesses around the world and shows how through wit, flexibility, and the help of a worldwide net of business partners the merchants were able to quickly rise to global entrepreneurs speculating on wars, food crises and slave revolts. The ramifications of their commerce were felt at home, where the merchants invested in land and city development, established new financial institutions and contributed to a rising consumer culture. This book brings together global and local history, arguing that private actors played an important role in the economic and social development of the young United States. 650 0 $a Merchants $z New York $z New York $x History. 650 0 $a Business networks $z New York $z New York $x History. 650 0 $a International trade $x History. 650 7 $a Business networks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842802 650 7 $a International trade. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977128 650 7 $a Merchants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01017057 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sturm-Lind, Lisa. $t Actors of globalization. $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, [2018] $z 9789004356412 $w (DLC) 2017054554 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A812EAAC840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
