Document Summary
Signi cant because it was facilitated by early globalization. Rise of global trade: co ee (from arabian peninsula) and associated commodities- porcelain cups (china) sugar (caribbean and africa), silver pots (south america). To prevent spoiling, new technologies from north american and europe. Ca eine, for most global north drinkers, provides a regularized connection to farmers in topical world, who we will never otherwise meet. But while it has fuelled industry in global north, a source of exploitation in global. South: 25 million co ee farmers in the world, the majority of whom earn perhaps one dollar per day.

Scholars encourage us to be self aware.
