Counter-hegemonic globalization

Globalization An Overview of Globalization and Its Positive and Negative Aspects By Colin Steif If you look at the tag on your shirt, chances are you would see that it was made in a country other than the one in which you sit right now. What's more, before it reached your wardrobe, this shirt could have very well been made with Chinese cotton sewed by Thai hands, shipped across the Pacific on a French freighter crewed by Spaniards to a Los Angeles harbor.

Samantha Greenblatt January 30th, 2014 US6 Causes of the Great Depression Stock Market Crash: Documents C, D, F The stock market crash was one of the causes of the Great Depression because at the time almost every citizen had invested in the stock market. When it crashed more than 40 billion dollars were lost. Many Americans believed they could get rich by investing in stocks so that is what they did. Because people?s life savings were put in the stocks, they lost all of their money. They had no money to spend, which meant businesses had no income.

DBQ: Silver Trade Between the mid sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century, the production of silver boomed in Spain, China and Europe. Even though the trade of silver was popular, this would eventually cause a significant decrease in the production. Based on these documents, the effect of the increase of silver production was beneficial to the European merchants, whose trade was with both the Spanish and Chinese (Doc 4,8), but the increase of silver in China (Doc 1,3,5,7) and Spain (Doc 2,6) would cause a fall in the empires.
