World Trade Since 1431 Geography, Technology, and Capitalism

Petrolia

America’s New Downtowns

Peter J. Hugill

The Landscape of America’s First Oil Boom

Revitalization or Reinvention?

Brian Black

Larry R. Ford

Hugill, argues that the interplay of technology and geography has guided the evolution of the modern global capitalistic system. Tracing the relationship between technology and economy over the past 550 years, Hugill finds that the nations that developed and marketed new technologies best were the nations that rose to world power.

In Petrolia, Black offers a geographical and social history of a region that was not only the site of America’s first oil boom but was also the world’s largest oil producer between 1859 and 1873.
