Trade goes back to the dawn of man.
Drawing on the insights from his recent book, A Splendid Exchange: How Trade Shaped the World, Bernstein talks about the magic of spices, how trade in sugar explain why Jews ended up in Manhattan, the real political economy of the Boston Tea Party and the demise of the Corn Laws in England.
The discussion closes with the political economy of trade today and the interaction between trade and income inequality.
