Empire of Cotton: A Global History by Sven Beckert

3.0

Incredibly fascinating and very well researched look into the history of cotton as a global commodity. I never thought I'd be raving about an economic history of cotton but this was as good a work of serious history as I've had the privilege to read in a long time and a completely eye opening angle on a fabric we all use every day.

Will probably be reconsidering my clothing choices more carefully going forward too!
