The eras of globalization: geography, technology and institutes. Sax J.

The most acute problems today are fundamentally global. To ensure a long -term future, they require coordinated efforts at the level of the entire planet. But the history of mankind has always been global. In this book, Jeffrey Sax, a recognized economist and expert in the field of sustainable development, turns to world history to show how we can answer the challenges that arise before us and use the possibilities that open in the 21st century. Sax describes seven waves of technological and institutional changes, starting with the settlement of the planet by people during migrations over long distances and ending with thoughts about today's globalization. He considers how geography, technologies and institutions influenced the Neolithic Revolution, what role the horse played in the emergence of empires, how the expansion of the land empires in the classical era took place, how, after the opening of the sea routes from Europe to Asia and America, world empires arose and what changes occurred with what changes occurred with The onset of the industrial era.

The dynamics of these past waves, as Saxi shows, allows you to take a fresh look at the processes that unfold today, namely, the globalization based on digital technologies. SACS emphasizes the importance of finding new methods of international management and cooperation to prevent conflicts and achieve economic, social and environmental goals of sustainable development.
